Scrapping 4 Fun #35 Vintage

Hello again!  I loved seeing all the projects in the LOVE challenge, there are some very talented crafters out in blogland.  Are you ready for another challenge at Scrapping4fun?  For the next 2 weeks, we want to see vintage projects.

I will admit, I struggle with vintage.  It's very close to shabby chic and I love both, but creating them is a challenge for me.

Here's what I came up with.

I colored the image Vintage Slip from A Day for Daisies.  At one time this was a free image, but it's no longer available :o(.  The image was colored with water color and regular color pencils.  Some distress ink was sponged around the outer edge of the die-cut.  I added some satin ribbon on the corners.

I found this metal birdcage in my stash, thought it was perfect with the birds in the image.   Pearls and roses seem like a vintage thing and I found this perfect flourish in my stash too.  Thank goodness for hoarding "a few things".  I tried to stick to very mute colors in my papers.  I hope my take on vintage inspires you.

Here's the simple inside.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
