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
Well, I hope you all enjoy your Friday and the last day in January. Can you believe the month is already over? Wow, time sure flies.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

  12. I was just skimming the list of entries over at Digi Darla's and I'm so glad you joined us this week. You definitely picked up elements of the inspirational photo in it. I love the pearls in the centre of the flowers, that frame and the pretty ribbon. Aren't copics awesome for blending. You've got the right idea--keep checking out videos, search for colouring tutorials. If you can afford to, order the Copic books as well. Of course I say that, did that myself and I have had them 8 months and still haven't really had time to practice using them.

    Good luck in the draw.

    Hugs,
    Lisa
