Hiya! Another lovely day in Brum - we're being spoilt :-) Hope you're having nice weather too!
I managed to find a bit of time to spend in my craft corner (which is becoming increasingly difficult since Charlie gave up daytime naps!) and this is the result:
So what I was aiming for was something to fit with the vintage theme at the Forever Friends challenge blog but I've never tried to do vintage before and I'm not quite sure if this fits the bill - what do you think? I've added plenty of sparkle so here's a close up in the hope that you might be able to see some of it :-)
And as I'd chopped off half of the front of my card (on purpose!), I decorated the inside too....
I used:
Image - Forever Friends
Sentiment - unknown (ebay)
Promarkers
Papers - Dovecraft
Glitter glue
Nesties
Xcut flower punch
Xcut lacey heart border punch
Pearls from stash
Challenges:
Whoopsi Daisy - Let's punch it out
Forever Friends - Vintage
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Anything goes
Creative Inspirations - Lace and pearls (if the border punch doesn't count as lace, just delete me!)
Simon Says Stamp - Sparkle and shine
PaperPlay - Sparkle galore
Secret Crafter - Anniversary
Right, I'm off to check out your lovely blogs and update my allotment blog. More green stuff to show you if you're interested??? :-)
Have a fab weekend!
Love 'n' hugs,

Ooh know what you mean about the daytime nap thing....roll on September when my youngest goes to school lol! No I'll miss him really, but he's so full of energy all day long.
Gorgeous card! Lovely cute image, fab colouring too! xx Jenny xx
I think this one fits vintage because of the colours. A lovely design & smashing FF image beautifully coloured. Well done.

Hey hun, your card is absolutely gorgeous Mel, I love the FF image you've used and the sparkle looks so pretty.
Shame Charlie isn't needing his naps anymore and limiting your play time, I really don't know how you magange to make any cards with the kiddos, mine are 22 & 18 and still so demanding lol.
While I am here I may as well thank you for joining us at Paper Play and Simon Says stamp, it's been a lovely sparkly week for me with my DT's lol

Weather has been quite nice here in Manchester. Our family used to have an allotment, long time ago! but spent a lot of my childhood on there. I used to love growing our own blackberries, rhubarb, veg etc. happy memories!
