Arty Girlz Challenge

  • The challenge this week on Arty Girlz is "Vintage"...how would you describe Vintage...old... worn...distressed and a bit ragged round the edges....well that's me to a T.....can you believe I have been filling in forms this week to get my old age pension and personal pensions in November when I reach the ripe old age of 60.....I certainly don't feel it (well maybe somedays I do) but believe me most days I definitely look it. It seems ages since I have done an Arty Girlz challenge and I do love them...they always come up with great ones ....so here goes I'm back......had great fun making this card...maybe not exactly vintage...more shabby chic shall we say.
  • P.S. to this post...Dawn has kindly said that she thinks I don't look a day over 30 well me thinks that if she wears specs. she needs new ones or if not, she needs to get some.

    Well Dawn, that is very kind of you to say but me thinks that perhaps if you wear specs, you need new ones and if not, you need to get some.
    Love

    Beautiful card as always. I love those flowers. Did you stamp them or were they already printed on? I'm shocked you didn't use your new Martha Stewart punch.
    Take care,
    Christy
