Vintage Mom & Daughter

Ahhh, Friday! Now we just have to get through the day. For many of you out there, your day is already over. Well, I am here this morning to share a card I put together yesterday for the Digi Darla Vintage photo inspiration challenge. I was just looking through some of my images last night and came across some of my digi darla's. So, I popped over to the challenge blog to see what was going on and saw I have one day to submit a card. I try to use their images when I play, but was not sure how I would do a vintage card. I also got some new toys to play with. I finally took the plunge and purchased some Copic Markers. It is a set of 6 markers called SKIN. I thought this would be a good starter for me as I always seem to have skin to color. I had a 40% off coupon and a Gift Card, so out of pocket was only $5.

I was very surprised at how well they blend. My chromatix markers have been working fine, but I only had one marker for skin, and I wanted to try some blending. I may watch some You Tube videos on blending today to see if I can get any hints. So if any of you out there have some suggestions, I am all ears.

When I saw this image with the mother and daughter, I thought I would give it a try.

The inspiration photo below gives you many ways you could go with this card.

Pearls, flowers, green, sure I could work with that. So here is what I came up with:

I had a sentiment that I was going to put on the outside, but when I placed it, it covered up some of the frame on the doily, and I really like the framed look. So may just go with this. I think this would make a great Mother's Day card...hmm. Will just have to wait and see.

Here is what I used:

Paper

• DCWV - The Rustic Stack
• Kraft-Core Cardstock - Nostalgic Collection
• Off White card stock for base

Punches & Die Cuts

• 3 floral punches for flowers
• Sizzix - Tim Holtz on the Edge Doily

Embellishments

• Pearls
• Ribbon

Coloring

• Chromatix Markers
• Copic for Skin, mother's hair & pages of book: E00,E11,E93,E15,E18,E000
