This week's Merry Monday challenge is "Let's Get Vintage". Um. No. I don't do vintage. Or so I thought! Then I remembered another challenge a long time ago, where the theme was Rustic. I didn't 'do' rustic back then (I still don't very often!) but I ended up with one of my all time favourite Christmas cards.
So in the same way I challenged myself two years ago to combine Rustic and CAS, yesterday, I challenged myself to combine Vintage and CAS. I think it was a success!
I started by using vintage-y colours (cream and Early Espresso), but keep the layout very simple. I used a script sentiment (unknown) and a 'vintage' PTI set, embossed in gold and then I coloured the leaves with distress markers in dark, muted colours.
This is so simple and elegant! Love the gold embossing!
ReplyDeleteClassy and chic!
ReplyDeleteOh this is simply perfect ... and wouldn't be suprised if this was another winner!x
ReplyDeleteClever - you have definitely succeeded with CAS & vintage!
ReplyDeleteA definite success. This is amazing Ardyth.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you gave vintage a shot, Ardyth! Your card is perfect. I struggled with this challenge too. :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do CAS Vintage very well, I love it. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
ReplyDeleteI think it was a success too, very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteCAS elegance at it's finest, Ardyth! So classic! XX
ReplyDeleteYou certainly did CAS Vintage really well Ardyth! I love this CAS Christmas card a lot! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI don't "do" vintage either, but sometimes we surprise ourselves! Your card is not only vintage, but CAS at it's finest! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteAnother winner for sure! You designed with a most favourite "vintage" stamp that I own too and have used many times, but not as brilliantly as this!
ReplyDeleteyou do vintage very well, it's beautiful.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and I love the CAS style, Thank you for joining us for Merry Monday this week.
ReplyDeleteHad to smile, Ardyth ... I don't do rustic or vintage either ... haven't even tried! You, on the other hand, combined the two styles with CAS brilliantly (I checked out the earlier one)! Stylish and elegant, my friend ... and simply lovely! Bisous, Anita :)
