I hope you will come and join us this month - use up some of your Christmas Goodies and you might get some more in the form of a prize!!
I really like this stamp (from our sponsor) and it was lovely to work with.
After stamping, I paper pieced her pinafore with some polka dot paper. The sky and ground were coloured with distress inks and I coloured the rest of the stamp with promarkers.
I distressed the edges of the image and stitched it onto purple shade cardstock.
I used the same cardstock and polka dot paper for the background of the card.
The vintage lace was a present from a crafting buddy and I used a paper lilac roses and some pearls.
A doily and a couple more paper flowers and some pearls, and finally I used an old pre-printed jigsaw piece that was part of a very large box (all different colours and sentiments) that I have had for a very long time and rarely used.
The theme was continued through to the inside.
Hope you like it enough to give our challenge a go this month - and my other teamies have also done some lovely projects to inspire you! Remember we may have the word 'vintage' in the title but your project doesn't have to be - as long as you have some stamping on it then your entry is fine!

A work of art, Viv! I think the image and the way you have paper-pieced her pinafore and painted the background makes it like a portrait. Then to showcase it with all the stitching and doilies and lace and pearls ... it's SO out of my league and gorgeous!! Hugs, Darnell
