A little bit vintage

Hello all and I hope that your week has been going well. Sadly, it's a bit damp and drizzly here today - not so good for me but the garden is enjoying it lol!  And thank you for all your lovely comments - and for those about the family pic!  It's not often we all get together now that the older 2 girls live and work away, but I suppose it makes us enjoy and appreciate the times we are all gathered even more!

A slightly different sort of card to share with you today - and I had so much fun playing! And - shock, horror - no stamping and colouring!  Instead I had a workspace covered with all sorts of bits of paper, distress inks, lace, embellishments, etc.  And I realised that as I'm doing any crafting that my 'working' space gradually gets smaller and smaller (as I get so much stuff out!) until I'm putting the card together in a space about 8" x 8"!  Perhaps I'm just a messy crafter! (Is there such a thing as a tidy one?)

The gorgeous backing papers are from K&Co (just love this pad!). The vintage photo image comes from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique cd. The cute little vintage postcards were embellishments I bought so long ago I've forgotten where they were from! 

I've added a sweet heart charm, lace from stash and some gorgeous cherry blossoms and rose from WOC (the rose was an ivory coloured one, but I spritzed it with Ranger 'perfect pearls' mist in a lovely soft vintage pink)

I added a Marianne die cut swirl, used a distressing tool round the edges and added quite a  bit of distress ink!  And the inside decorated to match

Hope you like my little bit of vintage! 

And hope you enjoy the rest of your day,

Back soon,
