DT for Vintage Elusions: Vintage garden

Good morning lovelies! Its the start of a new week - did you have a good weekend? I had a fabulous day at Harrogateon Saturday with my lovely mum! We managed to do a workshop with Barbara Gray of Clarity Stamp - well she top and tailed the workshop anyway, and a mini workshop with Amy Shaw! In addition to that we had a lovely time spending pennies and I got to meet Anne from LOTV and Nat from J and C Creations! So all in all it was a fabulous day!

Anyway - back to today and over at vintageelusionscardscrafts there is a new challenge starting called 'Vintage Garden'. We are sponsored by thecraftypad this week (Hi Guys!!!) who supplied our beautiful images and also floppylatte.

Here's my card - I've used acorns-and-Autumn-Leaves.


The backing paper is from the Tim Holtz distress collection and I've added skeleton leaves. The image was coloured with promarkers.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

PIO:pileitonchallenge Vintage/ shabby Chic
Crafty mess CBcraftymesschallengeblog: Anything goes
Allsorts CBallsortschallenge: Autumn leaves and trees

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit me and for leaving your comments - I do love to read them and they do make my day!!

Big Hugs - back tomorrow with a new release from the Crafty Pad!

  14. Hi Rachel, it was lovely to meet you on Saturday ...hope you didn't spend too much at the show! Sorry if I wasn't very chatty ...I wasn't feeling the best and ended up not being able to go on Sunday :o(
    This is lovely, very Autumnal ...I haven't seen skeleton leaves used for a while, they were around when I started crafting and I'd forgotten how lovely they are x
