Vintage

Evening it is snowing again and nothing on tv. Oh what ashame just have to sit and play. This is what I came up with.
 I got all my distress ink out and made my own background paper and reached for my H2O's that haven't seen daylight for a couple of years, gives a sparkle. The die cuts are from Tim Holtz's  love stuck. Cut them on and distressed them as well. Grunge board at the top covered in gold dabber. Sticker had for a while and lace bit a scrap paper on the top and there you go . Downloaded image from Kenny K. Flowers are from wild orchid.
Hope you like it . Made lots of mess. Going to do more of my own backgrounds . Watch the snow from indoors.

Good afternoon just had a lovely morning at the local spa. Gold spa treatment bath and facial highly recommend me time.
At last finished my card for /liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge. Two papers and charm.
The papers come from clearing out my things. On the back I used a heart punch. Coloured the image in with promarker pens. Didn't want to add to much colour just a tiny hint. Took ages to get ribbon though the heart charm and tie into bow.
