It is a rainy Thursday morning here…peerfect for me to attack my ever-growing Christmas to-do list! I hope to make some quality progress today!!
I am excited to be posting my DT card for Southern Girls this morning. The theme is Vintage. Iove having a go at vintage…its fun to distress all the papers and try to make it all look old I think.
The music note paper I ripped out of an old hymn book I bought at a second hand book shop then I put rub-on Prima flowers on top of it from the Annalee collection. I also used a journaling card from the same collection and I put another rub-on, which is the quote, on top of the journaling card.
I found the photo on the internet and changed it to Sepia on Photoshop…well I think I did…as it looks more black and white to me…but the original was in colour. The card has a love theme because it is for my hairdresser who has just gotten engaged. I dont know if she likes vintage or not, but I thought a Vintage engagement card would be something a little different.
I added cream lace, love heart ribbon, love heart pearl hat-pins, a true love sentiment sticker and some flowers. Then I decorated the inside of the card as well. I like how the music notes come through the rub-on flowers.
There are some fantastic prizes up for offer, as always, at Southern Girls!
