Floral Grandparent's Day Card

Hello everyone!  Grandparents day is just around the corner...the first Sunday after Labor Day (if you didn't already know!)  It seems to always sneak up on me.  This year I decided to cut into my Circa 1934 paper pad by Cosmo Cricket.  It is such a gorgeous vintage stack.  I won it a while back from the ever-so-generous Jessica at SVG Attic (THANK YOU!!).  I started out by going to Pinterest and searching for "Circa 1934 cards" and I found this amazing card.  I was so inspired!  I planned on duplicating it only making it A2 size instead of square.  And all too soon I realized that the paper she had used was apparently from a 6" stack and mine is 12" so the print size was much different and I didn't like the look of mine at all!  So I went back to look at the papers again and was inspired to make the card you see here, still a spinoff of the original, but with my own look to it :)
There is a lot going on with this card.  The lace, the doily die cut (from My Craft Spot), the flower, buttons, bow and sentiment banner (stamp is from Paper Sweeties).  For the flowers I used my Cricut markers and traced around the flower and then switched out the marker for the blade and it cut the flowers out.
Here are all 3 cards for the three sets of grandparents.

  5. Beth,
    I have no idea what circa 1934 colors are but this I do know. This card is outstanding. The flowers with the dark outline really make quite a statement. I was wondering about white lace on colors and cream ( on my project) but yours looks perfect.
    Also must check if it's grandparents day here in Canada and get the word out.
    We love seeing your artwork THANK YOU for posting your project with us.
    Blessings
