Another vintage card

I was so happy with the way my last card using a vintage image worked out that I decided to try another. This card is to congratulate my husband's nephew on the birth of his second daughter. I found the image on the Digital Two for Tuesday site and just fell in love with the sweetness of the two little girls holding hands.

Once again I am using a sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Their sketches are just so good and they always include two versions - one clean & simple and one fancier.

I'm also entering this card into these additional challenges:

• Digital Tuesday Challenge - create something girly
• Fab 'N Funky Challenges - theme is "it's childish" (this card is to welcome a new baby)
• Stampotique Designers Challenge - theme is "love" (this card just screams of sisterly love to me)
• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - digi colouring

Recipe:

• Patterned paper - Basic Grey
• Digital image - free vintage image from Digital Two for Tuesday
• Spellbinders nestabilities die cut
• miscellaneous buttons

Just because vintage card

I've been wanting to try out this vintage image that I found on Digital Two for Tuesday (which features 2 free vintage images each week) and so decided to make a "just because" card to have on hand. After all, you just never know when you will need a card in a hurry.

This card also meets several challenges:

• Midnight Madness sketch challenge - sketch
• Fab n Funky Challenges - shabby chic
• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - digi colouring
• Polkadoodle - hearts & flowers

As usual, I used my Copic markers to colour the image. I also used Copic marker to colour the flourish on the left side of the card so that it would match the patterned paper. The flower is a mix of some cheap flowers I bought at Walmart (and then took apart). Polka Doodle required hearts too and if you look you will see that the patterned paper is actually made up of stylized hearts.
