Vintage pastels

The very fresh new challenge at 365 Cards is called "Going Vintage". Now, vintage is the word that makes Chupa's heart beat faster :P How could I possibly resist?
I have just created this card:

Photobucket

For some the DPs and the image might ring the bell, for not too long ago I designed a set of cards featuring both (the image is from the same gorgeous set, but it's not the exact one). Usually I'd let the stuff that I use "cool down" for a little while and use something else instead, but they were just perfect for the colour combo proposed this week by the Color Throwdown team: bashful blue, certainly celery and positively pink. It would be hard for me to find some papers that match their choice better.
I also made use of sketch #22, which is the theme of the recent challenge given by the Papertake Weekly Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!
