' Dreaming of You ' Vintage Card
Hello Everyone. I hope you are all winding down after the excitement of the Festive Season. My younger members of the family went home yesterday and we worried till they arrived home as the weather was really bad. It was Wonderful to have everyone together and it definitely perked us up. I started this card a while ago and found it again whilst tidying up, so I decided to give it some finishing touches. The stamps are old ones by Rubber Stampede called Dreaming of You and Definition Background. I actually started out using up offcuts of Tim Holtz paper from the French Industrial pad. I then stamped the images with Archival Sepia ink before distressing with Walnut Stain and Bundled Sage distress inks. I added some lace to the image. So today I found some Marianne corners on my desk and gave them a good going over with the inks before getting to work with my Treasured Gold waxes. Added some crochet flowers and a few of my own just to give it some height. The Sizzix heart was one of the many TH dies that I received from Annie in my Christmas box. Now I'm about to start a White on White Wedding card with matching bag , so I better make sure my surfaces are pristine clean. Enjoy your Day. Hugs Rita xxxx

Love it that you used more colours instead of the monochrome you usually see in vintage! Inky greetings, Gerrina
this is beautiful Rita and I'm so glad to hear you had a lovely family time - its so important. Hope your WOW went well! Hugs Rachel x
A stamp I've always loved but don't actually own and missed out last year when I lost out on E-bay!
The colour palette and the mix of textures is so beautiful. As your cards always are, this is another one which is so elegant.

What a beautiful card Rita, so glad you had a wonderful time, we did too a quiet one but was peaceful with the family around :) The weather has been really bad but luckily the water never managed to hit us just flooding the roads but some have had it really bad. Huggles Sue xxxxxx
A wonderfully special vintage card with all your signature touches. I especially love those burnished corners. Your pretty doily with the crotchet flowers made it so elegant & feminine, with the lovely old-fashioned photo. Loved the lace and the tiny pins too. TFS & Hugs. Stay warm tonight.
Beautiful vintage card Rita - I love that stamp! Hope your weather is not too bad - we seem to missing the worst of it here in the North. Jennie x
Oh Rita, this card really does have the wow factor! I love that stamp and your embellishments are just beautiful. Love the heart die that Annie gave you, it is so pretty. Glad you enjoyed the time with your family too. We have lots of rain here but thankfully no flooding like they have in the South. Hugs, Anne x
I bet your family had a great stay and how lovely to have time together like that. Love this gorgeous vintage card Rita with great image and embellishments.

Hi Rita,
another of your super creations. I love your crochet flowers, and the corners, it reminds me I also have them and haven't used them in about a year. Great vintage card.
There is nothing that can beat family around you at holiday time, so glad they arrived home safely in this awful weather everyone is having. Mind you it's been quite nice here today.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
