They had a piece of artwork with a vintage feel, some blue flowers and kitties. I was so drawn to the blue flowers and lace, that I couldn't fit the kitties in there anywhere, not to mention I don't have a good kitty stamp yet. Sorry, kitties, maybe next time!!
I used tempting turqouis textured card stock for the top with MS doiley lace border punch and the bottom part with Flock Together DSP with the scallop border punch. I knew one day these old paper doilies I was hoarding would come in handy and it did today. I used crystal effects on the blue flowers and butterflies. The rest is a stick pin, ribbons, flower with sticklesand a spacer with bead, mini pearls and mini turquois rhinestones.
This is for my son to send to his aide to keep in touch during the summer before school starts again in September.
Thanks for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, let me know what you think. Have a great weekend!

Yay! You hit the FAVs this week! And I can see why- Pam, this is just gorgeous! I thought is was a real doily. The pin, flower and brad are just the right and lovely touch- and the CE on the main image is great. Beautiful work sistah!
