I created this card for this week's The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday Challenge which was to use florals and butterflies on a card or project.
I've been ITCHING to create another vintage card again, so I chose little Miss Reeta from the Wild Sprouts collection and some yummy K&Company paper to create the vintage feel.
Miss Reeta is colored with reinkers and an aquapainter and the whole card was sponged with Distress Inks and machine stitched. The flower is hand cut and spritzed with glimmer mist. Soooo pretty IRL! The layout is from this week's Friday Sketchers.
Ink: Staz On 'Jet Black', Creamy Caramel, Really Rust, Cranberry Crisp, Certain Celery, Taken With Teal, Pretty In Pink, Regal Rose, Sahara Sand, Going Gray
Accessories: Ribbon, Button, Scrapworks Dental Floss, Martha Stewart Tag and Edge Punch, Circle Punches, EK Success Small Butterfly Punch, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist 'Pearl', Machine Stitching, Sponges, Dimensionals
