Christmas Card Throwdown

Birdsong

HI everyone, I made this card today to enter into the Challenge number 3 at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog.  The theme is "Vintage or Retro"   I was not sure what to do so I used my Graphic 45 Paper Pad "Birdsong" it is one of my favourite Graphic 45 papers.   I used a black cardstock for the 5,3/4" square card and cut the birdsong paper at 5,1/2" for the background and used a small Kimono that had been in my stash for maybe 10 years, and a brass flower that was a gift from a friend, I used a black corner cut from a Cheery Lynn die in the top left hand corner and the gears at the right hand bottom corner were also Cheery Lynn.  The lady in the picture is one from the Graphic 45 Pad, and I made the little flowers with Die-Namics Mini Royal Rose die and I added the back petals with some of the small flowers on the Tim Holtz "Tattered Flowers" die, and the larger one I cut a circle and scrunched it up after putting "Vintage Photo" distress ink on it and used a clear rhinestone brad for the centre, then I added stick on pearls to the edges of the card, the lace around the flowers is scrap pieces.  I hope this card fits into the category of "Vintage or Retro"
