Vintage Fashion

The Make My Monday challenge is back after a well deserved break and their theme for this month is VINTAGE with VINTAGE FASHION being the specific topic for this first week. The card I've made also qualifies for Judith's Forgotten Friday because I've used images and backing paper from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD set and I just can't remember when I last put these discs into the computer!! Two sizes of image have been printed and I've added a layer of card embossed using a Cuttlebug folder, vintage lace and  some paper flowers with a diecut leafy frond using a Marianne die. The MMM design team have made some lovely cards for inspiration - well worth a look and of course Judith is posting examples of her DT work for Chocolate Baroque using new seasonal stamps.

    This is gorgeous Val, I love the use of the lace over the embossed matting and the flowers match the colours in the images perfectly. You've remined me that I have this CD as well, and I can't remember the last time I used mine.

    The way you used the die-cut frond to echo the fern on the image is brilliant & ties in beatifully with the backing too. I particularly like the way you used red for a matting layer to pick out the red of her clothing.

    Great card Val, I have this CD as well. I love the way the frond echoes the image, which is so reminiscent of a bygone era. Thanks so much for joining in my Forgotten Friday post, Judith xx

    Lace, embossing, repetition and differences in size of the image, bringing the background into the the foreground. Great work.

    Fabulous card with all the vintage elements Val and I love the colours especially because they are quite unusual. The main image is very elegant.
