Quite a Pair
Running a bit late this morning . . . which means I'll be running the rest of the day too - LOL! That's ok! I have a fun little number today (lol!) made using some of my new Echo Park papers and Mint Motif stamps from i {heart} papers. I recently took a trip to a little antique "mall" of sorts in the next town over. There was a whole basket of vintage playing cards and I was so intrigued by them. Some of the pictures looked so neat it was shame to leave them just sitting there - especially when they were only $.50 a deck! I have some projects I hope to try out with them soon but today I thought it would be fun to combine one of the cool cards with What a Card and I've Got Your Number from Mint Motif!
Isn't that Beach Club card just fun?! The 2 top papers are from Echo Park's Playground line - love it! The blue one (with the "waves" is from American Crafts).
The Blue Silk ribbon is also from i {heart} papers - I just scrunched it up with some water and then gave it a few squirts of Glimmer Mist to give a bit of depth. The little bling swirl is from Zva Creative - just gives a fun, sparkly touch!
Thanks for stopping in today - hope you have a great day!
What a CUTE idea, Julie! Fabulous card! I'm going to be keeping my eye out now for old playing cards at antique stores!
