Memories are made of this.
This can be interpreted in different ways.
Vintage style which could be anything (card, atc, bookmark, tag, gothic arch etc -
or you can go down the scrapbook page/mini album route with memories
of any vintage - even yesterday!
It is my lovely daughter and wonderful son-in laws wedding anniversary next month so I used the challenge to make a card for them.
I chose Embossed Hearts for the main BP and Polished Stone as a mat for the pic which is popped up with foam pads. The frame around the pic is made from the gold lace digi in the Traditional Christmas collection.
I cut a heart from white corrugated card, painted it with iridescent medium and added some fine glitter powder.
The extravagant bow is deliciously soft silk ribbon with a pearl button from my local haberdashers. My DD's dress was made of wild silk so I have been very generous and parted with some of this gorgeous silk ribbon from Funkie Junkie Linda's boutique - well, as they say...she's worth it, LOL.
The tassle trim is a wonderful match for the ribbon,
The words computer generated.
It would have been nice if I'd used flowers a that were a closer match to the colour of those in her bouquet but these were the nearest I had.
I do have some left from when I did the wedding flowers, but they are too big for this card. - 19 years ago, which proves what a hoarder I am.
The bouquet took days to make but we were all happy with the result and I was very proud of it.
We hope you will share your memories with us for this challenge - you really must pop over to CACB and see what delights the DT have come up with.for this challenge.
