Precious Gift

Normally I don't do 'vintage' only because I can't seem to pull it off!!! But I will always give it a try whenever it is set as a challenge. Lollipop Ladies this fortnight had the challenge of banana custard and vintage. So I have used some very old Basic Grey paper and drew inspiration from the colour of bananas - yellow. I have added a little lace and a doily to give it a more vintage feel to it!


I have used the sketch from Diecut Dreams #90. The large cherry blossom and title are stamps from Kazzazz and the little robin stamp is from Grant Archival - Grace Taylor. The doily is from Paper Inklings.

Thanks for looking.

You certainly have pulled off the vintage look, this is gorgeous and the use of the doily and the stamped image is just divine, sounds like shabby is right up your alley, thanks for playing with us at LOLLIPOP LADIES. Melxx
