Yes, this got out of control! I wanted to do more for today's IC; Polly has so much inspiration, I think I need a nap. And I wanted to do her WT-playing card. I think the playing card got a bit lost.
I used a vintage playing card I bought on Etsy. It's at the top with the blue birds on it. Then I opened up my ephemera drawers (yes, plural) and started going nuts. I got rid of some very old things, like the turquoise felt leaves, some seam binding, some decorative corners. I seem to be into the color scheme of bright green and turquoise these days. I used a gingko leaf gel print but it got a little lost too. But boy did I have fun! I need to do this kind of art more often. This is my inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/542331980127532726/

I knew Polly's site would be a big hit. I love that you got out of control. I love what you did here with all the added elements. So much pretty to look at!

So many great items you used. Of course, I love those birds and your pretty corners.

Yes, you are out of control in a wonderfully Pinterest induced fog of ephemera. I love what you've done here ...You and I have a mutual love of unique and distinctive "this and thats". Don't feel like you have to use all the inspiration today....it'll still be there for future reference.

I don't think the playing card got lost at all. - Really a lot of texture and so much to look at on this card. Lime green & turquoise fit the bill for me today, too.

This looks like it was very fun to create. I love all the colors in it and I really like the little strips of music notes - it goes with the bird playing card really well. Beautifully done!
