I really had a hard time coming up with a design I wanted to use for this card. The image is a free digital from Two for Tuesday's. The original image has 5 flapper girls, but I cut off two because this is for 2 of my friends and my birthday. The three of us have the same birthday (February 2, hence the 3 flapper girls on the card. Since the image is almost all black, I decided to go with black, white and gray stripe dp background, but I wanted a hint of color to brighten it up. Bonnie's favorite color is purple, so I went with a lavender Bazzill and a deep lavender flower. The black brad in the center of the flower is faceted and because it stands up pretty high the image is somewhat blurred on the scanner at bottom of card. I used a corner punch, photo punch, and MS border punch.
Sure hope they enjoy their card! I know we will enjoy our birthday - the 3 of us always go out to dinner (and we all get a FREE dessert!).

What a wonderful card..I am just loving the vintage style with this one. The scallop on the bottom of your main image is just perfect and I love purple, so this card is very easy on my eyes.. Vintage+purple = big smile on my face
