Vintage Style

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.
