This weeks challenge at
SOS is "vintage or shabby elements and/or distress your project". Well it just so happens that a few of my vintage friends and myself are turning the big 60 this year. This past week we celebrated my friend Linda's passing of the milestone. As part of that celebration I made this birthday card for her. I used a vintage paper that I sanded and inked with Tim Holtz distress ink. the girl is one of a group of 8 on a page I purchased in Stonewall (along with the cameo button). The ribbon is an old piece I had in my stash, it has pearls on it, that aren't too visible in this picture. the ribbon and the background paper are antique white. I got to use my newly purchased nestability for the Happy Birthday message which is also inked with the TH distress ink. Thanks for looking.
not sure what you did on your blog to post this one mom, but I went in and republished it so that I could leave you a comment on this great shabby, chic card...love the way it turned out and now you have a title showing on your blog too...
