June is wedding season however, today's card would most likely not be used as a wedding card. But Double D Challenge is embracing the onset of wedding season, bringing you a new challenge with the theme of "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and / or Something Blue. You only have to pick 3 for your creation and it does not have to be a wedding card!
For example: you can use an old stamp, die, or paper, etc. or new of the same. Something borrowed from another crafter and/or something blue.
For my card, here's what I used:
Something Old: papers from my stash and older dies, like the doily in the background and the frame die.
Something New: the pretty new flower rub-on I found on Amazon.
Something Borrowed: The ticket you see peeking out from behind was one that I received in a card from a crafty friend.
Something Blue: The printed flowers and the millinery flowers.
Don't stress over this challenge, just have fun with it!
You'll find some fantastic designs over at the Double D Challenge Blog. We have the best design team!!
Here's the inspiration photo. I went with the vintage lace for my inspiration.
Here's what you could win when you play along:

Wow, I love this collage of beautiful ephemera and die cuts! The blue is the perfect pop of color among the earth tones. That background doily is a favorite of mine also. Gorgeous card!
I just LOVE when you do vintage cards Birgit! You make putting SO many different elements together look so easy...layers and layers and layers that all go together so perfectly! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Beautifully put together with a vintage vibe, Birgit! Gosh, that flower looks absolutely real, as if you picked and pressed it yourself. I keep looking and loving more little details. Nice!
I am loving that yellow flower in the middle! It really holds all of the other elements together. I enjoy the way that you use the ephemera on this card too.
Birgit, your collage work is outstanding! It's quite evident you love it - a stunning card!

Oh, I am lovin' this. I have really become enamored of flip albums and junk journals lately and all things that come with that. Little bits of ephemera everywhere....so much fun!! You NAILED it my friend. Well done!
Loving your collage style creation! Tickets are all the rage right now, love them! Fab background, love the florals and that framed focal point! So fun to look at and probably even more fun to create!
