Good morning everyone! I can't believe it's been so long since I was able to post anything. We've had a pretty dodgy internet connection again this week but I've also been really busy at work, with lots of stuff going on after school. We're on holiday in a couple of weeks and hopefully then I can catch my breath and get back on track. I've also been busy doing something crafty which I can't show you yet, but I'll be back with news of this tomorrow!
Anyhoo, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'! This week we want to see your interpretation of Vintage style in your creations. Now, I'll admit, I wasn't sure whether I was confusing vintage with shabby chic (can anyone tell me the difference?) but this is what I made:
I was lucky enough to win over at Totally Tilda a couple of weeks ago and the prize was a £10 voucher from Bunny Zoe's. The lovely Nikki has such a beautiful range of goodies and I was spoilt for choice, but I decided to get myself a couple of Bildmalarna stamps to try. I stamped this little cutie onto watercolour card and painted her using my Distress Markers and some water. There is a little bit of Glamour Dust on her wings, to give her a wee bit of sparkle
The pretty papers are from a Maya Designs pad and I've distressed all of the edges with the Timmy Thingy and some Walnut Stain ink. I wish I could remember where I got the chipboard flourishes, particularly as it wasn't that long ago that I bought them! The heart was cut with a Magnolia Doohickey and edged with Walnut Stain and I added some lush ribbon from the Ribbon Girl and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I do hope you can join us at Sweet Stampin' this week - hop over here to take a look at the fabulous designs my teamies have made!
Have a lovely day!
Hugs

That image is so sweet Tracey. :-) I know what you mean about the vintage vs. shabby chic issue. LOL I think the papers you've used have a beautiful vintage feel to them so you succeeded in my eyes. :-) Hugs!
