Paper Sundaes - Vintage Luca

Is there an old saying that says "Try something new - you might like it"? Well if there's not, then there should be, because I DID and I DO! I did try it and I do like it. 'Vintage' wasn't a style that I naturally leant towards but you may find me falling all over it from now on. I really enjoyed using these subtle coloured papers and embossing those chipboard cogs. Plus, I loooved colouring in Luca with Copics that have not seen much action before.  

This week over at Paper Sundaes we have a Vintage/Shabby Chic theme. Tickled Pink are our sponsors and they have some fabulous Vintage images. Here I have used Steampunk Lad Luca but there are heaps of others to see. Have a look at the Paper Sundaes challenge blog to see the other creations by our fabulous design team.
I am entering this card into the following challenges.
2 Sisters #41 Anything Goes
Aud Sentiments #29 For a Male
Charisma Cardz #21 Boy Oh Boy
For your Inspiration #6 Photo Hot Air Balloons
Tuesday Throwdown #50 Stripes

    LOVE you card! Everything about it is fantastic! My son and his girlfriend are big into Steampunk. Where is you get the great gears? I've been looking for things like that.

    I love this card! Vintage was not really my thing either but I've definitely acquired a love for it and I usually use my Tickled Pink stamps when I do it :) Thanks for the inspiration- I love those papers!
