Pink and Shabby

This is my entry for this weeks Polka Doodles Challenge - Vintage/Retro.  I've gone back to one of the first Cd's I ever bought from Polka Doodles 'Love & Cherish', I always reach for this one if I need to make anything even slightly romantic but I've also used it for Thank You cards so it is very flexible.

 I have inked the edges of the papers with Antique Linen Distress Ink and also coloured the white vintage seam binding with it, I scrunched the ribbon up whilst it was still wet.  The papers are layered onto Kraft card stock.  I used the same Kraft card stock to cut the Bird Cage and Bird and to stamp the sentiment onto.  I sprayed the Bird Cage and Bird with Gold Spray and Sparkle, I tried to keep it looking distressed by not spraying it evenly.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement to the front:
