Vintage vision ...

  
Hello again friends.  It has been a busy week, hasn't it?  I have only had a few moments at a time to steal away to my crafty little haven.  When I saw the color challenge and wonderful inspiration from Mona and her design team (and let me also mention the fabulous entries so far) ... I just had to play along.  Be sure to gaze on all the beauty over at the CR84FN Color Challenge.  And don't you just love that quote?!


I have had this image for months - straight from the pages of Somerset Life (I believe).  Lovely, isn't she? 


My card is Very Vanilla layered with First Edition Designer Series Paper (.. love this newsprint) and a fun polka-dot scrap along the bottom from Jolly Holiday.  The lace is from my supplies as is the rub-on in the corner.  I painted, distressed, and "glitterfied" the chipboard from the Mix & Match collection and the little white buttons.  A simple white seam binding bow with a few burgundy posies ... and my project is complete.


Again, my thanks to Mona and her team for pushing me "out of the box" and to you ... just for stopping by.  Good night ...
