Welcome to the new designer at Play Date Cafe, Julie Campbell. I went to her site A Vintage Chic and I saw all of her gorgeous work there too. She really inspired me this week, and she has some fantastic blogs that she follows too. That's where I found the image for this card. The site is called Old Photo Album and she has some wonderful, free, vintage photographs! I also had a chance to use the Bazzill jewel templates flowers and flourishes, and the self adhesive jewels in wild pansy, that I won through When Creativity Knocks Great Crafters Tool Hunt. Bazzill really has it together on this system. It makes it so easy to look like a professional when adding the beautiful jewels to your projects. Check out my beautiful swirl, I am really proud of it! Thank you Bazzill! Stop by Play Date Cafe and see what Julie and all her other team members made, and you will see my inspiration. I love the vintage look of the pearls and lace. I just found another challenge site SoArtful Challenges, and they just happen to be using this exact image in their challenge this week, called Lovely. I used the Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder and I made my flower from the Spellbinders round scallop die distressed with Tattered Angels glimmer mist. Thanks for looking. ~Diane
Congratulations on making The Fab 4!
