for my something old i used vintage buttons from my button collection, lace, and colored my stamped image in sepia tones. the stamp that i used is MarLeigha's Ornament Dance which is probably one of my favorite's from inky impressions! i found some 7 gypsy's sugar plum paper from my local stamping store and HAD to use it for this card. i made a swooping pocket for the card instead of a regular criss cross card, which i thought it made it look even more unique and vintage. i added lot's of pearl swirls and all sorts of embellies from silk ribbon roses, cameos, flat backed pearls, large vintage-y paper flowers.
here's a close up of my image. i LOVE the way it turned out. :)
i would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
