This post is for the new monthly challenge at House of Cards. This month's challenge is all about shapes, no plain square or rectangles for this challenge.
My shape card is actually a mini album die-cut with lots of curves. I used a vintage style image from Julia Spiri called Vintage Hair. I couldn't resist a big bow with a clock hanging, just like the one in her hair.
I tried my hand with a monochromatic color scheme. Using just my French Grey color pencils to color the image, this was a great challenge and I love the look. It's just adds to the vintage feel of the image.
Here's the inside.
thanks for looking and reading :o)
