I’m in need of quite a few cards for June birthdays. One of the recipients is a singer, so when I saw the featured card on the CASE Study blog, I knew I wanted to play along. Here is the card by Sarah Martina Parker:
Sarah excels at these shabby vintage cards, but it’s not a natural for me. I am, however, pretty pleased with the card I came up with, and I think my friend will like it, too.
I’ve been admiring the double bows Melissa Philips and Debbie Olsen make, so I thought I’d try my hand at one, and I knew I wanted to use this pretty Prima flower I picked up in Phoenix, thanks to Deb’s recommendation of a scrapbook store. All the rest of the products are Papertrey Ink: Hibiscus Burst cardstock and ribbon; Background Basics: Sheet Music, and Tiny Tags stamps and die; Vintage Cream and True Black cardstock.
I’m still doing catch-up after our long trip. I’ll soon be around to all your blogs which I read (even though I didn’t comment) while I was on the road, but haven’t managed to get to this week. The next few days look a little less hectic. It’s all been good, but it’s been busy!!
Welcome home! What a lovely card for today. I think the colors are very pretty – I know you and I are both attracted to red, black & white. The pink makes a nice substitution.

Ooooh…I love that vintage card, and your double bow on the music note paper is lovely too. Did you make it to Scrapbooks, Etc.?!?!
Can’t wait to hear about your trip and what else you saw and did. I’m happy that you did some creative shopping! xo
I think you’ve done a wonderful job there,Karen….it looks beautifully vintage…..and love the flower.
Personally, I think it’s better than the original (I hope I can say that). It’s a bit simpler and less fussy (my taste), oh, and it has pink on it.
Karen, you won the Heartsong stamp set from my blog giveaway last Tuesday! Yay! Please email me with your mailing address! dflanders71@hotmail.com.
Thanks,

It’s really lovely Karen and a double bow sounds like just the kind of thing I would like to learn, thank you!
I love your vintage card 🙂 Sorry to hear that you have been in pain for so long too – hope you are feeling better soon. I was back at the dentist today and have been given another lot of pills to take so I am hoping that these will do the trick. Looking forward to seeing piccies of your trip 🙂
Wow, that gorgeous pink bow is so eye catching! Beautiful distressed music sheet background…it’s the perfect medium for that bow and flower! Thanks for joining us at CASE Study challenges!
This is such an elegant, triking design! You did so well with the inspiration, I really like your interpretation!
I imagine your friend will love this! it’s beautiful & elegant!!
Thanks so much for the sweet words on my blog too!!

I know your friend will love it because this is so pretty! I love double bows, and you tied this one to perfection! 🙂
