vintage fashion

Oh Joy !  I finally got to make a card I really enjoyed doing, when I saw Make It Monday challenge I couldn't wait to get going and make a card just for the pleasure of doing it.  Think I have spent too long making cards that I thought would sell or specific cards for various birthdays etc. Took a piece of Melissa Frances paper and stamped various images on it from an Inkilicious set (those of us who remember pre decimal money - I think the money is added up wrong ! I make it 21/6d ! ) Sad aren't I !!!  Used my new Marianne Oval die, some lace I bought on holiday in Greenwich (gorgeous little shop selling wooden buttons/lace etc)  stamp from personal impressions and the metal tape measure charm I have been hoarding.

    Hi Joan, this is an absolutely beautiful card - I totally get what you mean about commission cards, it is easy to get bogged down. This is a beauty though, love all the elements and that gorgeous image of the lady. Love it! Crafty hugs, Anne x

    Fabulous card, I have just got these stamps but not had a chance to play yet. Makes me want to get started, pity the craft table is such a mess.

    What a fabulous card!!! The pins sticking out the top are fabulous and I adore the pop of green with all the softer colors around! Thanks for joining us at MMM! :) PS: I'd love to see what you would create with the challenge over at Technique Tuesday! :)

    Lovely card, how clever of you to find something pre 1972 to add to it. Not sure about the sum I cant really see what the first number is, but I do remember LSD, not the hallucinogenic drug.
