This is my offering for the challenge...... all very vintage.
The card is an A5 size, that I covered with a collage of vintage papers from my stash, in various shades of creams and lilac. Each piece was distressed at the edges with Mulled Lavender Distress ink and then adhered to the base card. The two images are from Crafty Indviduals Booklet and the brown felt frames from my stash. These were mounted onto cardstock and then cut out. They have been sitting there unloved for so long and this card was just crying out for them!!!
Two mini white doilies were coloured and placed behind the frames, before securing to the card.. A cream lace border was positioned half way up and topped with a faux metal strip and the timeless wording added. Buttons, bows and tassle were used to embellish and a lovely saying..
Hope you enjoyed seeing this, apologies for the camera work this time! Hope you can still capture the details.
Please pop over and see the rest of the design teams creations, they are wonderful.!!!!! and if you need to stock upon your crafty goods visit The Craft Den, run by the lovely Lynne. Many of the items used in my creation are available there.
Thanks for visiting and hope to see you again on the blog!!
