Vintage Leaves and Feathers

I found this card with a retired Fall Foliage set. I thought the new Vintage Leaves set would work perfectly and a card was born. I have a person in mind for this card and I can not wait to give it to them. Check out my inspiration from Leanne at her site.

For my card I did not have a cool text designer paper. Nor did I have my dictionary stamp with me. So to create the one here, I did some improvising and I think it works perfectly. I used the coral stamp from the By the Tide Stamp Set in Sahara Sand on Very Vanilla cardstock.

For the second Very Vanilla layer, I used the Sahara Sand Ink and various leaves from the new Vintage Leaves Stamp Set.  I also used a feather stamp from the  Four Feathers stamp set, which I believe is retired now, in Lost Lagoon Ink. I also have a grunge stamp that I used Soft Sky and Sahara Sand inks. Combining all these is what created the “Designer Paper” on top. I added Island Indigo in the feathers with my Stampin Write Marker. I also added Crumb Cake in the leaves. I added Stickles in Turquoise and Iced Blue to give it some needed sparkle.

For the sentiment I used Very Vanilla cardstock and the Petite Pairs stamp set stamped in Island Indigo. I added some Lost Lagoon ribbon and took my Stampin Write marker of Island Indigo marking around the edges.

The bottom is the Saleabration cardstock Color Me Irresistible and I colored it with Island Indigo. Then I trimmed around the bottom giving it a scalloped look.
