Make it Vintage!

The Color Challenge is up again at the Outlawz and this weeks inspirational picture was chosen by Teresa

now this picture is a little out of the ordinary as its a picture of Teresa's father and it started off as an old black and white image until Guylou waved her magic wand and voila - we have colour! Teresa originally used this wonderful photo as it will be Rememberance Day this week and what a very appropriate image for this week!

The twist is' Make it Vintage' - I think everyone has their own interpretation of what is vintage. To me vintage reminds me of days gone by, with maybe a little longing! With such earthy colours I did feel that a Rememberance card would be the order of the day and this is what I came up with

I have a wonderful collection of grungy/vintage papers that I got from Costco a couple of years ago, its beautiful paper, really good quality but there are hundreds of sheets and I'm sure I'll still be using them ten years from now! I chose a lovely page with birds on that is just the right colour, I then stamped and heat embossed it with a beautiful stamp of a wildflower that I stamped at different height. I then layered it up with more of the scrummy papers from the set and printed the sentiment and mounted it on some brown card, I popped it up with some foam pads to add some dimension.

Well that is my interpretation of vintage using this weeks colours, I hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate it and if you have time do stop by the Outlawz and join in the challenges, there are some wonderful prizes and a lot of fun - hope to see you again soon!
