Vintage Christmas for our colour INKspiration challenge

Hello and Welcome to another fabulous Colour INKspiration challenge.

This challenge is presented with an amazing group of talented creative souls.  

Check out the gorgeous colours and image for our challenge this time!!  

The gorgeous flowers led me straight to my new stamp set - Vintage Christmas - but I've used my card with the great Very Best Occasions stamp set to create a birthday card.  

I've also incorporated a great technique using my Pear Pizzazz marker - free hand drawing of extra lines on my Gold and Silver Sale-a-bration paper to form a tartan that looks fabulous with the gold stripes.  You can see this idea in the Sale-a-bration catalogue on page 10.  I then created a feature using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the 3 step images for the flowers using the challenge colours.  

The inside of the card is a repeat of the front images.

You might be able to tell that I've fussy cut the flowers to give them more dimension and added gorgeous rhinestone pearls in the centres so they sparkle!!  I love the way this Vintage Christmas stamp set coordinates perfectly with the Vintage Bottle punch.  And I love the finishing touch of a little bakers twine on the neck of the bottle too.
