Good morning!

It's time for a new challenge over at the Bearly Mine challenges. The theme of this challenge is....

Vintage Easel Card

OK! Let's get on with it. I am not much a vintage girl myself so when I saw this challenge I thought to myself "this really is a challenge and how do I deal with it?" I was lucky to find a lovely picture for another challenge but never got to it, so I used it for this card instead. I had planed to practise a little first but life got in the way of it.


Then spend lots of time finding DP which wouldn't have taken half as long if the computer hadn't been on strike. Anyway, I have used the lovely digi set that is called "Vintage", clever isn't? LoL After looking around I thought brow is a good vintage color and I started to build up the card from there. And this is how it ended up.


I hope the card can inspire you to make something that you normally don't do, because it sure did for me. And I'm really greetful as I now have a card for my youngerst sons teacher that will retired during the summer. A good deal in many way. A card is done in good time before I need it and I have learned something new and really loved it. This is my second vintage card ever, and I believe it will be more of those, but only for the special people in my life as it took forever to make it. But I have heard something like practise make perfect or something like that...


As usually we have a bunch of lovely sponsors that provides us with the most amazing prizes every challenge. This time we are very humble and greetful to have the support from all of these companies. A big thank you to each and every one of you!

You have two weeks to enter this challenge as usually so get into it and have fun. I sure did! This time I will come and check on your creations later rather than sooner because when you read this I'm up on the surgery table and getting my knee cleaned up. I do hope I'll be home again later today. See you around!

Love n hugs

Marie
