vintage birthday

Morning all! Well yet again I should be running and yet again the rain cometh! Oh well - I'll just have to craft and blog then - what a shame I hear you all say!!!!!

I hope you are all feeling well. Thanks for your comments - I'll be interested to see what you make of todays offering which is right out of my comfort zone!



I've used a hunky dory topper and corners and added it to Tim holtz distress pad paper that I've further distressed with my edge tool and tea dye distress ink. I've made a flower using papers that I've stamped and coloured and cut out with Tim Holtz tattered florals die - Hels Sheridan does a tutorial on her blog here about how to make these. I've then added a few WOC roses and a sentiment - and that's all folks.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges -
vintageartisans - Vintage shabby Chic
totallygorjuss: sweet and simple
tuesdayalchemy: Anything goes
paperplaychallenges: Happy Birthday
craftpunked: monochrome

Hope you all have a fab Friday and thankyou for any comments you may choose to leave! Hugs Rachel xxx
