You Inspire Me

Happy Wednesday! One of my very favorite designers, Betsy Veldman, is having a challenge using Vintage Findings. I love her work and she is always inspiring me, so I had to play! Inspired by her beautiful tissue flowers and using this week's Cardpatterns sketch, I created this card:



My vintage items are the buttons and the lace. Here is a close-up of the flower:


And here a close-up of the scalloped border:


I know, I still owe you the double-bow tutorial! Trying to get it done this week, please bear with me!

Thanks for visiting and have a beautiful day everybody!!

Hugs,
Vanessa
