Vintage Botanical Birthday

Hello stamping friends ~ I'm still in vintage mode, trying to use up some printed papers that I've had sitting around for years.  I really think I'll never live long enough to use all the paper and supplies that I have, but it's fun trying! 

 I cut the 6x6 paper down to fit an A2 size card front and added a strip of green glitter tape from American Crafts to the cut edge.


The bird and floral bouquet are from one of the many Tim Holtz Ephemera Packs.  I'm in love with his ephemera packs!  They are filled with oodles and oodles of beautiful images all printed on cardstock so they have a nice, heavy weight to them.  

The sentiment banner is cut and stamped using a PTI set.

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Simon Says Monday Challenge ~ Vintage / Past Times
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Simon Says Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!

Haha, so funny, not funny, huh, Birgit?! I am in the same boat! So guess what I did. I recently bought another lifetime's worth of gorgeous paper from Our Daily Bread. Oy! But I love just stamping or adding a small element and letting the paper shine in all its glory, just like you did here! Lovely!! Hugs, Darnell

Beautifully done and a wonderful mix of images and pattern papers. I have quite a few pattern papers too. I will try to make use of them more often too.

A beautiful design, Birgit, and I need to follow your example and make some of these cards, as I'm a collector, too! Thank you so much for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!

You sound like me with your stash of papers! While recently organizing some supplies I was reminded of all the pads of paper that I just couldn't pass up! Love the gorgeous design with bird cages. You do such a marvelous job with vintage!
