OLW # 29 -Classic Beauties Challenge




Susan's One Layer Wednesday Challenge this week was to make a card using a recent post here for inspiration.  I encourage you to go take a look at the link........I oohed and ahhed (?) at all the sweet goodness a few times before I sat down to make my card.

I chose the first picture, because I loved the colour for one and also all the scalloped lace work........so clever.  I used some masks and sponged with white chalk ink to get a couple of rows of scallop's.  Leaving space between to emboss my sentiment.  I embossed a further row of lace using Victorian Frippery from Waltzingmouse Stamps.  Four little white hearts to complete.

Susan's one layer challenges are always fun but this one was a real challenge for me.......I enjoyed it too.

Thanks for dropping by, I'll see you soon..............
