My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture
I have never done anything vintage and had nothing in my stash suitable and so I trawled the internet until I found this little treasure. I matted her onto the second size SB Decorative Labels 8, which makes it look like an old fashioned picture frame. The lace and ribbon were from my stash and the flourish was in my bit box. I think it is a Marianne Creatables die. The poinsettias were white ones from WOC so I brushed them with an ink pad to make them more creamy. I thought the muted shade of the Kaisercraft green backing paper also looked quite vintage too. The picture doesn't really do it justice because she looks really gorgeous in real life. Sack the photographer, or maybe get a better camera?
Ah well, I hope you all have a good day today whatever you find yourselves doing!
