Tattered Treasures: Vintage Sewing Card

Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Hello dear friends! I have a card to share with you today. It is once again time for a new challenge at the Frilly and Funkie Blog! Cec is our hostess and her theme is 'on the runway.' All you have to do is create a vintage or shabby chic project that depicts sewing and/or fashion. For challenge specifics just click on the blog link above and prepare to join crafty fun!

I can't get enough of Prima's new Cartographer papers, so I distressed them and layered them up for the base of my card. The vintage image in the center is one I created in Photoshop.

I crafted several blooms using a Tim Holtz die, then added a bit of stained lace and twine to my floral arrangements.

Thank you for coming by to visit with me today. I hope you'll join in the challenge over at Frilly and Funkie!! May your day be lovely in every possible way!

Hugs,

Another absolutely stunning piece, Nancy! Those papers are gorgeous and make up into such a lovely card. I am always so in awe of your handmade flowers and your digitally collaged image is wonderful. Great piece for this week's challenge!
