Thanks for dropping in today and a warm welcome to my new followers.
Have been meaning to post this for a couple of days and the time has just gone as always. I am feeling very smug as I am continuing my resolution to use up some of this huge paper stack that I own and never cut into - so here's the latest offering using more of my Graphic45 Curtain Call papers.
Can you feel the steamy passion??LOL
To coin a phrase - they don't make 'em like that anymore'!!!
All dark and smoulderingly broody with the odd sound of a bodice ripping thrown in for good measure!!!
And you weren't allowed to let both of your feet leave the floor during the 'passion' scenes never mind exchange mouth to mouth kisses!!!
How times have changed - and not always for the better - now nothing is left to your imagination....
Enough reminiscing! Back to the card - distressed,stitched and layered (yes the sewing machine is still out!), some old cotton lace from my stash, a couple of black card swirls and a doily inked with Antique Linen DI.
The satin ribbon kept fraying so I ended up using the pinking shears and I hope it hasn't spoilt the overall vintagey feel. I added the blingy buckle, a black pearl pin, two diamante pins and finished with two tiny sparkly hearts.
