Very Vintage

Hello,
.
This is for today's Ways to Use It Challenge 233 Very Vintage where we were to make a vintage card. 365 Days Challenge was to also use a vintage image.
.
Color Create's Challenge was to use Ruby, Cream, and Gold. I used these colors, but also added Chocolate Chip. By adding Chocolate Chip, I am not sure if this quailfies for their challenge, but their colors are what inspired me for my creation.
.
This is also for today's C.R.A.F.T. Challenge where we were to use embossing on our cards. My bg is embossed with the Cuttlebug then daubered with Creamy Carmel to give it an aged look.
.
My sketch is from Lily of the Valley minus the sentiment.
.
My main image is from Hobby Lobby that I have had for a long time. I stamped it in StazOn Timber Brown twice. I cut it out with my new hexagon Nestibilities and trimmed the edges off. I colored the butterflies with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS, cut them out, glued them to the base, and lifted the wings for demension. I used a gold zig painty pen on the time pieces. I then daubered Creamy Carmel to give the vintage look.
.
What do y'all think?
