We have a new challenge today at Try It On Tuesday with the title of 'Pretty Papers'.
A challenge it was for me too!
I remembered some time back (and I MEAN some time back) there had been a freebie with one of the Cardmaking mags so a delve into a box and found them at the bottom - a little bit tattered as all kinds of stuff had been dumped on top of them but pretty papers nevertheless.
I got out the lace box too.
I chopped off part of the front of the card and simply edged it with lace.
If I'd have been on top of things I probably would have stitched this card as I always think stitching looks good on a vintagey card. Maybe next time.
Thank you again for looking and for any comments you leave.
I hope all is well in your part of blogland. x

Such a beautiful card! It's such an elegant vintage design and the worn papers look so pretty with the lace accents - perfect 😊. Happy wishes ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
This is very different for you, but very lovely. You did well in the end. Love how you have used the lace. I would have had serious issues with this one too. I very rarely use patterned paper on my cards, although I do still have some. It is likely to go on the next clear out xx
Gorgeous Vintage card, love the beautiful papers, lace and little frame-hope you are okay.

Lovely card Viv, it's got a great vintage feel. I have so many papers, I really ought to destash lots of them as I know I'll never use them all.
