A little Vintage Vogue

Vintage Vogue was another stamp set that I had to have when it came out.  It was originally in a mini catalogue, but I was pleased to see it then made it to the main one as well.  To me the small flowers look like Lazy Susan, but I didn't really want an orange card, so pink it is.  Actually Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette.  Have also used the Adorning Accents Embossing Folder and Edgelits Dies on here as well.  





When you cut out flowers a neat trick is to "shape" the petals by bending them over a skewer or pen to add a little depth to their shape.  I only remembered to do this on the last two I stuck down, too late to pull them back up.  Shame cause they look so much better I think.

  1. This looks gorgeous. Love the bottom border edge too. Wish I had all your 'stuff' to do cards like this. You will have to show me when I come down. Will be in touch in the next few days to organise something. RW
