These colors were certainly a challenge for me...wow..it took me longer than I expected to create today's card. I thought this looked like a framed picture you might find in an antique store. I used my new Anna Griffin embossing folder but you can't really see much of it..it's cool..I'll have to use it again on a card where the bg is the star. Hope you like it!

Polly I love this card! The little framed girl looks like she should be sitting in a Parlor on a Grand Piano!! Fantastic job with the colors it certainly doesn't look like they were a challenge for you!

Wow Polly....this does look like an old antique picture you would find in an estate sale or something. You are just the best with these sort of stamps. I see them and think "yuck" and then I see what you do with them and I think "wow"!!!!!! And what I can see of your new embossing folder looks like it's really pretty. So yes, I can hardly wait to see you use it sometime when we can see the whole thing.

Polly, you have the coolest stamps!!! I wonder how many people are in your stamp collection! This one is a dandy!!! LOVE your die cuts and the striped DP looks amazing right behind your image panel! Those flourish (swirly) die cuts are awesome (are they new?) and the bow on top is fabulous! It really does look like an antique framed photo!
Polly this is just wonderful! I thought I commented yesterday, glad I looked again. I must not have hit the submit button. Anyway, your little girl is so sweet and I love your red die cuts at the top and bottom. The embossing is really nice too. Well, I just like everything about it!

This is truly vintage! I am amazed by your flourishes - that had to take a long time to die cut that! Your little girl is so real like and so nicely done!

Really, this is SO beautiful. Wonderful piece, it does have a great vintage feel.
Polly, you have such a great eye for color! Not everyone would have put that orange striped paper in there behind the focal image, but it brings out the rusty tones in the girl's dress, and makes all the other colors pop!
