This is my 1st sample for CC692. Karen is our hostess and she has chosen very vanilla, mint macaron and blushing bride for her color trio. Dessert Option this week is vintage.
Vintage is so out of my comfort zone but Karen put forth the challenge, so I had to give it a go. I had this card pinned on my Pinterest board so I used the layout but changed the colors. I needed all the help I could get (LOL).
I used the tranquil tulips set. Love how this set stamps to give the image a somewhat watercolor look.
My background mint macaron designer paper is from the color me irresistible collection. The angled layer has designer paper from the Stampin'-Up "bundle of love" collection. Distressed all the edges for the vintage look.
The doily is cut in blushing bride cardstock with a die from Cheery Lynn Designs.
Added some linen thread, ribbon and pearls to finish off this card. Birthday sentiment stamped in soft suede ink.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Karen has chosen such soft and pretty colors. And, if vintage isn't your style let your own creativity loose.

The title, Beautiful Tulips, is perfect for the gorgeous flowers on your card, Mary! The designer papers are gorgeous, and I love the addition of the ribbon and twine. You did great with the challenge, Mary!

What a beauty, Mary! I love the tilted panels, the twine and ribbon, and the pretty doily. I'm so glad you found the inspiration card on Pinterest, and linked it here. I've saved your version to my Pinterest board, because the layout is such an eye-catcher! Beautiful!
