I made this card for the IC273 challenge, and was inspired by the soft colors in their nursery collection and the wren pattern. Still working to use some of the stamps and stash that have been sitting for awhile. The lace for the bow really is vintage, it's some from my Nana's collection years ago, and I distressed it more with SU ink pads to match it up with the kraft and pink in my card and on my fingers from sponging, LOL. I stamped some of the blossoms a second time and layered them with dimensionals and distressed the edges of the layers. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful card! Love the neutrals with the soft touch of pink and the vintage look with the distressing and that gorgeous vintage lace. All your wonderful stitching is over the top. This is soooo pretty!!

I'm disappointed your card didnt receive more comments. It's gorgeous in pink with your distressed edges and beautifully colored bird. Your seam binding and pin are the perfect finishing touches. Great work.
