DD9ABC9I: I'm playing catch up. This is for the letter I and my color that begins with I is Island Indigo, there might be a bit of ivory in there too. The double challenge was to use an image and I think I've got that covered too.
WT686 was to use some of our patterned paper. I've had this small pad of paper for several years now (2? 3? I'm really not sure.) But I mostly used patterned paper for this card.
Using last week's marvelous sketch, I created this vintage style birthday card. I added the stamping of the keys down the side (stamping off first so it would be lighter) and embossed the greeting. I sponged the edges of each circle to give some definition.
I wanted to use this lace but it was white. No problem, I sponged it with Antique Linen distress ink and like the result.
My oldest daughter suggested that this be her birthday card this year!
Thanks for looking.

Very pretty vintage card! I am always so impressed when anyone is able to have 2, 3 or more challenges fit a particular card! I like that sketch challenge. I may try to make a few more cards using it.
