While I enjoy challenges, being stretched is pretty hard at times. Today's WT237 challenge was to "Get out of the box." But not "the box," but YOUR box. Try a new style. So, Vintage is pretty much not me. I can do simple or lots of layer. Cute, modern...but I do not do VINTAGE or COLLAGE. The only other "vintage" card I have made this year had a dollie on it too. But I think this one is much more successful. The sentiment is by Paper Makeup which has tons of inspirational quotes to choose from.
This card was made yesterday after I had finally done all my chores! It is not a traditional card size. I'm not even sure of the exact dimensions but it does fit in a 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 inch envie. I think it more closely fits the example for the CAS33 challenge.
Amazingly enough, there aren't many color challenges. And I'm pretty picky about color combos. But I LOVED this one. I suppose b/c it had FIVE colors and I used all 5. The bird is rock n rolled in 2 colors.

Yes, that looks very vintage and very pretty! And it is not a style that I am good at stamping either. Love how it dresses up the saying. :)
