Pure Vintage
Hello my blogging friends, isn't this weather just wonderful. Mind you I have had a bad migrainne the last 2 days, maybe the sun, but I hope not. However, I felt a bit better this afternoon and finished a card I started on Friday night. I was sent the images by Tracy at Cardmaker's Delight and all she asked was that I made a card. Well I can tell you now I was spoilt for choice as these are most delightful images to work with, so please pay a visit. My base card is dark brown and I used a left over frame in marl/cream colours. The backing paper was the paper bag that the images came in and I distressed it a bit and added a piece of crimped card and a lattice SB to give some height. I then added the images & quite honestly the card looked lovely ,but me being me had to add some flowers from Wild Orchids and a lace bow. The feather came from my SIL, as he has lovely birds that leave their feathers around the garden and it reminded me of a quill pen for some reason. The beautiful pin was given to me by my friend Elizabeth on our day out. I do enjoy creating vintage cards.

Such a gorgeous card... love all the vintage...the design just perfect..
A gorgeous vintage card, lovely image and the rest of the elements make it just right. Love flowers from WI - always good.
Hello my friend, this is stunning and oh so vintage looking. I love how you have done your layers and that feather is so lovely, really finishes the card off. I do hope Tracy sees it as I think she will be very pleased indeed. It really is wonderful.
Have spent today on a full day workshop with Hels Sheridan and I really enjoyed it, even in this heat!

Me again!! No, I'm not stalking you Rita - I just realised that I have seen your work before and left a comment about it! It was your take on Hels 'Circles' challenge that I thought was gorgeous. Honestly, the sun has got to what is left of my brain today. Promise I won't be rambling and incoherent in future.
