This card is for this week's Verve VLVMAR2010 Challenge! For the month of March, our inspiration pictures come from kitchens. Here is the picture I chose for my inspiration. However, the picture below it is where I focused on one piece of the Market Collection...the napkin holder.
This card is also for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C26). We are to use at least three textures. The background small square cream pieces are a backwards cb ef, the solid black is a sizzix, and the green is another, but some of that is covered up. I did use three, though!
For my card I am using Verve's Love Flower for the leaves on my grapes. The grapes are not grapes at all, but an upside tree. LOVE that I made it grapes, though. Here is the Whimsy Tree stamp. The sentiment comes from the Birthday Surprise set.
I made what I like to call a Whimsy Vintage card. Taking a cute image and give it a vintage feel. Cute meets shabby chic!
