SHABBY CHIC VINTAGE CARD


Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Well another weekend is upon us, and the weather is lovely in my part of Kent.

Going out to for meal tonight to celebrate my Son, and my Granddaughter's Husbands Birthday.
Their Birthdays were on the 30th and the 31st.

Made this card yesterday for the Frilly and Funkie Challenge was so pleased as the last challenge I was one of the top picks.




This is a 8"x6" Tent Style card I made.
First of all I covered my white card with cream card.
Then I delved into my Graphic 45 Ladies Diary paper pad for the paper and the image.
I distressed the paper edges.
I added some lace to the paper at the top middle, and bottom.
I then added a part of a very old feather to her hat, and some pearls as a necklace.
Finished it off with some vintage roses, and hand made leaves.

 Thank you so much for you visit and precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

 I would like to enter this into the following challenges.
