Hello... I hope you are all well.... it's been a very rainy week here in Manchester... but hopefully it should brighten up a bit tomorrow? fingers crossed.
I thought I'd show you a card that I made a while ago for my lovely friend Ira. I know she loves Marie Antionette and so I found a picture on the internet and used it as main focus of the card... it was lots of fun to make. I used some lovely glittery Tilda Country Escape Toppers.
I traced some text for the sentiment and then wrote over with 0.05 ink pen as I wanted to give it a handwritten effect. The doily lace edging was done with a Martha Stewart Punch. Papers are Glitz Design - Vintage Blue.
I hope you like it...
Can't believe how the time is flying by today... I better get a move on and finish my jobs... need to do Tesco order for tomorrow or else we won't have any food for weekend !! I'm glad Downton is back on Sunday... hope this series is a bit more cheerful though!!
Take Care and I will catch up with you all soon...
Love and hugs

Hi Sue, haven't heard from you in a while. This card is stunning, I never used to like vintage stuff but have really taken to it after seeing so many projects in the style.

Beautiful work of art Sue!!!!
This is beautiful Sue, such a gorgeous vintage image. What a great idea to trace the sentiment - I always love handwritten sentiments but my writing is so untidy, I will have to give this a try.
I hope you are well, have a fab weekend.

I bet your friend just loved it. I expect you're looking forward to the return of Downtown tonight - I know you're a big fan. I can't wait to get settled down in front of the TV! - though not before we have our last bash BBQ this afternoon - got the grannies coming round to make the most of what could be the last day o summer. Really looking forward to getting back to MAWTT! Hugs Judith x
