Hi Crafters,
Hope you are all well and thank you for visiting.
I have a special card to share today, not only was I thrilled to be asked to do a GDT spot for Try It On Tuesday but I finally had time to create a style of card that I have admired being made by some of the talented crafters out there.
The challenge theme was to....
Use a Vintage Photo
Recipe
Vintage Photo - Internet
Papers - Graphic 45 'A Ladies Diary'
Spellbinders Floral Oval Die
Joy Crafts Viewmaster Die 6002/0451
Joy Crafts Flourish 6002/0258
Joy Crafts Butterfly Border Die 6002/0251
Go Kreate Large Frilly Frame #10 Die
Pearl Strings
Guipure Lace
Flowers
Gathered Twigs Distress Ink
I really enjoyed myself making this card, although I broke out in a cold sweat making the decision to cut in to my G45 pad that I had been hoarding, but it really suited what I had in mind for this card so I chopped away. The layers were hand stitched and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and I decorated the inside to match the front cutting a white oval for the message.

Hi Lorraine,
what a gorgeous card, and so wonderfully created.
That image is perfect for the design, and those papers are super.
Isn't it funny how we hate to use our lovely papers.
Just wish we had more money so we could buy a few, and then we wouldn't have to worry.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Wow! Absolutely stunning card Lorraine. I know exactly what you mean about cutting into hoarded papers, I have several I haven't managed it with yet, but this was so the right decision because they suit this card so perfectly.
You have certainly nailed this style and then some, it's perfect.
