Before all that however, we have a new challenge over at Moving Along With The Times as Hazel has set us the challenge of
Vintage - again
As for my card - well I do like it, I'm just not sure if it can be classed as vintage. It doesn't use bright colours and the girl looks old fashioned so that classes as vintage... right?
Everything used, except the card stock was generated from the Ooh La La CD "Say it with Words." I'm new to this type of crafting, but it's nice to have a change and I did enjoy working from the CD again. I also discovered that it's well worth putting quality paper into the printer when running off design papers, funnily enough they come out so much nicer!

ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of vintage either. I like other people's vintage cards - I just struggle on making one on my own.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card, thanks for sharing it with us over at Creative Moments.
ReplyDeleteI like your card Janice it's very lovely. And vintage is not always bright colours. I still joined in this morning and I used dark colours too. I was aiming for a maile vintage card so I used masculin colours. I love your image and your lovely background paper. Well done. Greetings from Veerle
