Vintage Card

Hi And Good Morning on this Bank Holiday Monday

Just a quick vintage card for me today been off work

all last week and never got a chance to make anything on my days off,

Just before work on Saturday i managed to make this card using

my new Crafty Secrets Creating with Vintage Patterns CD

 and the new Crafty Secrets Key of Life Stamps

never had the right ribbon in my stash just used what i could find

this is what i came up with the only stamping on this card is the

key and sayings, The image off the girls i think is crafty secrets i am not

quite sure as i got a lot of vintage images in my stash.

The card is 7x5 card stock I covered the front of the card with pattern

papers and edge the edges with TH Vintage Photo Distress Ink

all the papers on this card are from the CD and all the papers on the

disk are 12x12 i used Photo shop to reduced the sizes on the Vintage

notepaper and the music sheet edge both of the edges again i cut out the

image of the girls and adhere it to the music sheet i also added a key to the

side of the notepaper the key is from a necklace from Primark the left over

paper i used TH on the edge die and added it to the side of the notepaper

stamped a few sayings on the paper and added a stamped key the flower

i made out of some cream silk ribbon and added a button in the centre

I also added some cream lace ribbon down the side of the card.
