Design Team Vintage Challenge, - Baby girl.

Hmm This new post composing set up is slightly confusing! 

(I'm sure I'll get used to it with a bit of practice 

but its all new to me now!)

Anyway, moving swiftly on to the subject of this post....

Below is a baby girl card I have made as a 
Design team member for  

Vintage Challenge blog

The challenge we have for you this week is to use 

metal on a vintage project!!

The deadline to post your project here is 

 13th of september at 6.00 pm.

This months sponser is

 

Aud Kristens salgsboden!! 

You should really check out her shop 

 as she has a great array of goodies.

us girls on the design team recived a package each of flowers, lace, diecut frame and metal trinkets to play with. 

I have used design papers from 'The girls' paperie' - Vintage whimsey 

( i just love that word 'Whimsey' hehe)

 Rub-ons from Basic Gray, Karen-Marie clip and yellow and white bakers twine.

Everything has had a 'doing-over' with 

Tim Holtz' distress ink pad - 'Old paper'.

Last but not least the letter 'E' 

which in this case stands for 'Emily' 

is cut from a selection from Panduro Hobby.

(Emily is my Australian/swedish cousin's first baby daughter,

so this card went 'down-under' :O)

I am entering this into the following challenges:

The Shabby Tearoom - week #77 - 'Birthstone colours' 

(My birthday was in August hence the soft peridot tones in the back ground and Emily was born in July hence the large ruby coloured flower.)

By the cute and girly -September challenge - 

'All things bright and beautiful'

Nord Salten Hobbyklubb - Challenge # 37 'Metal'

Charisma Cardz Challenge #35 - 'Anything goes'

Stampalot September Challenge - 'Its a frame up'.

Wishing y'all folks a fabby weekend!
