You Party Animal

There's a sketch challenge going on over at the Avery Elle blog.  The challenge is to use a sketch from the talented Nina Yang, and the winner of the challenge earns themselves an upcoming guest designer spot. As most of you know, I don't do clean and simple designs.  In fact, I do quite the opposite.  But I do like to challenge myself by using the unexpected while keeping true to MY vintage/retro style.  And that's what I did here.

Ever since I received the Avery Elle tag dies, I have been making tags out of EVERYTHING.  Here I made a tag from a vintage photo and I used the Simply Tags: Everyday and the Party Animal stamp sets in my design.  I tried to stay pretty close to Nina's sketch.  Since the background paper had a lot of dots, I cut vellum circles to mimic the circles in the sketch.

The rebel in me wanted to use contemporary images in a retro/vintage project.  So that's what I did!
