K Andrews Simply Sunday "Vintage Appeal"

When I fisrt saw what K Andrews Simply Sunday Challenge was I thought there was no way I was going to enter it. I have never made anything vintage before!! I then looked at what the DT made and got some inspiration. If you head over to the link above there are more details on the challange.  Here is what I made:

First I started out by punching out the flowers ( I have no idea where the punch came from, there is no name on it and I have had it for a while). I then used Tim Holtz Distress ink (Frayed Burlap) on a make-up sponge to give the flowers a more vintage look. I glued two of them together. I have seen Tim Holtz on a You Tube video crumble up his paper and then take the distress ink and ink over the paper and the ink only goes on the creases. So that is what I did for the background paper. I then had lace kicking around so I took that and added the ribbon to it and then put the flowers on top of that. The only thing I used my Cricut for was the little girl holding the bird (A Child's Year cut at 3").  I used Pink By Design Take the Cake for the sentiment
 "Have a Tweet Day"  I used the Distress ink for that as well (same colour).

I think it turned out pretty good for my first and propably last attempt at something vintage!! Head on over to KAndrews and join in the fun!!
 Have a great day!!
