My card today is for a challenge I just found, The Shabby Tea Room. It's a great source of inspiration if you like the vintage shabby style like I do. The challenge this week is a photo inspiration of a quilt. I followed the color scheme and the squares on the patterned paper resemble a quilt.
I used Layers of Color's Flutterescent set. If you love vintage images, Layers of Color has the best around and they're beautifully hand drawn by the owner, Laura Campbell. They have an SNR Group where you can find lots of card samples and a generous discount code to the LOC store.
The text background is a download from The Graphics Fairy. The papers are Webster's Pages and the sentiment is SRM Express Yourself Mother's Day stickers.
I made the flower thingy. It's my 2nd attempt, but I think I will keep practicing because it allows me to use up ribbons I haven't used in awhile. I found a spool of old binding seams and that's what I used here. And guess what it matches one of my favorite cardstock colors, GinaK Designs Cranberry Tart.
