When I saw the color combo for today's color challenge I thought about doing a card with vintage feel. I used the Vintage Wallpaper ef then distressed the piece and sponged some Soft Suede to add to the distressed look. I added some crochet trim that I also sponged. The flowers were made using the Rock N Roll technique with some extra color thumped on also. I used a spare piece of Soft Suede that I'd run through the Distressed Texturz plate inked with Soft Suede for a textured look for my Little Leaves.

Love this! My Rubber Room is painted in Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze so it's not surprising that I love this week's colour combo! Very pretty card.
