Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 159

Hey guys!!

So, I have something really exciting to share with you today! You know how much I love playing along with the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenges, right?

So you can imagine how excited I was when they asked me if I would like to Guest Design for them this month! Um, YES please.

So, I am honoured to be participating with the Timeless Tuesday team for all of the challenges this month!

This week, Heather is hosting the challenge, and she picked a *beautiful* inspiration photo for us to use… I want all of the beautiful vintage goodies in this photo to decorate my house!

I picked out the colours from the photo, mainly, and went from there with my card. I also included the detail from the lace doily as well as a few other things…

I coloured the pot black to reflect the beautiful twine holder in the photo, and integrated the pink in the photo by adding that shade of twine on my bow.

I also stamped my own background pattern using the Seeds of Friendship set, to sort of draw on the text on the vintage tins.

Here is a close-up of my Zinnias:

Thank you so much for looking! I am so excited to play along in these challenges for the next couple of weeks… I hope you’ll stop by the Flourishes site to play along yourself!
