I really felt like doing a vintage card.... and so bought some photos from e-vint. This gorgeous lady is from their Unknown Beauties collection... isn't she lovely?
From My Crafty Heart....
PAPER: Prima 'Pixie Glen'
FLOWER: Prima Vinetta 'Fairy Belle'
GENIE STONE: 'Bright Mix'
PEARLS: Melissa Frances 'Trinkets & Baubles'
Sentiment: Molly Blooms (freebie with magazine)
I've added a Bail to the Genie Stone from my Jewellery Stash... and I've attached the Stone with a Glue Dot... I thought it would be nice idea if it could be taken off ... then just thread a chain or leather cord through and you could wear it as necklace...
Quite a simple card but hope you like it...
I would like to enter it into the following Challenges:-
Bearly-Mine - Challenge 44 - 'Girly Birthday Card' ends 23rd July 2012
Papertake Weekly - 'All Things Girlie' ends 23rd July 2012
Divas by Design - Challenge 44 - 'Anything Goes' ends 24th July 2012
Well we have had some sunshine over the last two days. I sat out in the garden for a while yesterday and it was lovely... the Day Lilies are just coming out.. and the Geraniums and Carnations all look lovely... all the shrubs and bushes are SO huge with all the rain... it's a bit like Jack and the Beanstalk.. and of course the weeds are huge too!!
I've just had yummy pizza and now I'm going to read some of my book on Anne Boleyn!
Thanks for all your lovely comments - I really appreciate them all
Hope you are all keeping well... and if not then I really hope you feel lots better very soon!!

This is really gorgeous Sue and yes she is a beauty!
Lol to your garden, mine is just the same, we have a gardener as all the work needs doing in the summer months when we are busy and I asked him the other day what something was and he said that he had always called it 'elephant ears' and I said it looked like it was about to stampede it was so big! He has since cut it back a bit lol!
Hope all is well in your world
Hugs Laurie xx

Lovely card Sue, your vintage image is gorgeous. It's so nice to be able to sit out in the garden isn't it. It was our Carnival today and I can't believe how glorious the weather has been - it makes all the difference.
