Inkspirations Sketch Challenge - 20

Thought I'd give this sketch challenge a go - I had just created this card/box thingy and thought that it fits well .... er .... sort of .... with the Keesh's sketch at Inkspirations.

Of course it has an Easter theme to it:

And this is the sketch:

My Vintage Attempt

On Wednesday night we had a challenge on Swap Sisters which was an ATC (have never done one of these before) and a vintage theme (another first for me).

The challenge was to create an ATC (Artist Trading Card - 2.5" x 3.5") in a vintage theme and included each of the following:

1. An image of a lady - Yes...
2. A 3D embellishment - Yes .... (pearl and paper clip)
3. A scrunched up piece of paper - Yes ... (ripped piece of paper from telephone book)
4. Text in some way shape or form - Yes .... (SU En Francais BG stamp)

Here is my card:

I had a lot of fun with this .... and I look forward to recreating some more .... this vintage thing can really grow on a gal'.
