I was asked to make a card for an older lady that with the brief 'old-fashioned with flowers'. Some time ago I was given a pack of patterned papers that can only be described as 'faded floral and dull' which I never thought I would use but were ideal to create a vintage feel.
I used a sticker of some lilies (I think!) mounted on a fancy Marianne oval die-cut and some pearls and a strip of lace as embellishments. The greeting was printed directly onto patterned paper.
I'm entering this card into the challenges at:
Crafter's Castle #1 - anything goes
Cuttlebug Mania - flowers
Thanks for visiting
