I worked hard on this one - a vintage card for my vintage princess daughter in law - like making a watercolor for Monet's birthday......LOL.....here is some wonderful inspiration:
In the end I really love this card, but the vintage stuff is not as easy for me as doing bold striking color.....but yet I love it so much that I keep attempting it!! Now for Jenna, it just comes naturally!! Happy Birthday Jenna-Bee!!

Oh Karen, this is absolutely stunning! Every little detail is exquisite and so wonderfully designed......the beautiful punched border, the lovely stamped branch and bird on dimensionals, the sponging, the lace ribbon, and the prearls, just to name a few!

This is absolutely gorgeous! You say this style is not easy for you, but you could never tell it. It is another Karen masterpiece! I got tickled in your comment about Monet because when I saw the bird and read who the card was for I remembered a card of Jenna's that I had favored a while back with a striking bird on it that she had colored! You certainly did an outstanding job on this one and I am sure that she will LOVE it!

Oh, Karen, this is beautiful! It's soft and very vintage, and I love it! So, tell me, where is that sentiment from? I really like it! Thanks for sharing this inspiring beauty!
