MAWTT DT - Vintage



Hello everyone... how are we all today?
Well i hope?

I am back today with my DT card for 
and this week the lovely Val has chosen the theme of 
VINTAGE
This is not a style of card i do very often.. but i received some Steampunk type images in a RAK from Cheryl a couple of weeks ago.. so knew it was time for me to use one of them!
I think the images are Kanban.. and i just love them. 

Before i tell you how i made the card i must tell you we are sponsored this week by


Crafty Emma's Store...
  The Prize isVoucher for £10.00 To use in store  (not including P and P)
just think of the stash you could buy lol

So .... onto my card ...
I coloured my image with Promarkers and glittered the net of the hat.
I used papers from my stash and a panel embossed with a script embossing folder , which i also inked using my dusters .
I distressed all the edges of each panel using my craft knife


I added lace , crystal drops, Marianne swirls and little pearls.
I hope you think it is suitably vintage .
I have sent the card as a Thank you and a belated birthday card to Cheryl.. hope she approves .

Don't forget to pop on over to MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES  and check out the rest of the DT cards and say hello to our newest DT member Sue .

I would like to enter the following challenges-
Allsorts -Lavender and Lace
Creataliscious - Distress your edges
Fab n Funky - Distressed/torn

Enjoy the rest of your day
