well, I can't seem to resist using up these images I coloured awhile back, they sit looking at me, asking to go on cards, so what can I do but get on with it!



I don't know who'se paper it is, it was a gift with my others, I do know that I love it! Prisma pencils were used for colouring and I used my Faber-Castell PITT artist pen, sepia, for the words. Thanks for the adhesive 'pearls' to my dear friend Bev. Flower from local bead store. Cardstock is a mottled yellow/cream, from PNA here. Distressing done with DIs vintage photo


a few Rangers Stickles, frosted lace, were used also, but don't think you can see them much in the photo; other than that I decided to keep it simple, sometimes less is more (that's my excuse)
