This is for SCSer Carol. She and I are of one mind...we both love vintage so this card was fun for me to make. I used some old cardboard for my flowers so that's my recycled part. The girl is stamped on glossy paper using StazOn ink and then colored with distress inks. I used some of Carol's favorite colors...green and brown and sponged the edges to give it a vintage feel. I also stamped some flourishes in the bg and added the words.
Come join us for a Teaparty!!

This is just fantastic Polly! I adore this sweet little girl image and how you framed her out with this lacy frame. And these flowers- oh my! I have never thought to make flowers out of cardboard, but I will give it a go one of these days so thank you for the inspiration on this. I know Carol will adore this gorgeous vintage card you made just for her. ~Karen.
