Crafty Ribbons Challenge - Vintage

Can't believe it's been so long since I last posted,but as per usual 'Real Life' just got in the way...We are getting into a better routine with my Mum so that should give me some more time...Katy is now doing her A Levels and loving every minute of it,must admit I thought it would be different but hey in the first 3 days I had paid out £55 for two books,£41.15 for Art supplies and £180 for a two day trip to London,sobbing here as I had my eye on some lovely new papers,but they will have to wait for now..lol...

Today see's a new challenge over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge and my lovely team mate Maja is hosting and has the theme of .....

VINTAGE...

Not my usual style but I did have a card that I had made a while ago but never got round to putting on my blog and it fitted the theme,or I think so,not sure now but here it is....



I used distress inks blended together to make my background paper.....The music sheet is stamped with a LOTV stamp onto kraft card with brown ink.....The image is from an IndigoBlu stamp set.....


The flowers are from Mulberry Crafts except the cream ones which is a little spray that I found ages ago in my stash.....The lace is from Crafty Ribbons.....The feathers and pearl gems are from my stash...The sentiment is from the same IndigoBlu stamp set......Quite a simple card for me,but I kind of like it.....
Please checkout the rest of the teams gorgeous vintage cards here....
Have a lovely day....
