As soon as I saw the new Sara Davies Signature Collection called Vintage Diary, I just knew I had to get it, it's just my type of collection. However, when it was delivered, I was at a bit of a loss to know what to do with it! I think the problem is, there are no toppers, there are some stamps but as those of you that know me will know, I'm not much of a stamper!
Anyway, after I'd had a good look through the 12 x 12" paper pad I decided that I could cut some toppers from the papers. This girl reading is part of a paper, I just cut it out with a stitched rectangle die and inked the edges. I used four of the papers and cut the banners using my Die-namics Fishtail Flag dies, I cut the flowers from the reverse of one of the papers and added a sentiment from Lisa Horton Crafts Wordage Sheets.

Exquisitely beautiful card, Pauline. Like yourself, I too am drawn to items and collections with a distinctly vintage, antique, or otherwise yesteryear feel to them.

Wow! Gorgeous vintage card! I though that you have stamped the beautiful lady, instead it's a part of the paper, you have done a fabulous work with her! Love the design with the banners and the flowers!
ReplyDeleteA super image, no idea why but it reminds me of Jane Austin, not that I knew her of course? Lovely background and embellishments.

This is a beauty! I’ve been following you for, i don’t know, a decade? And I remember you stamping and coloring and you were great at it. But toppers and decoupaging has been your go to style lately. But if you were to need stamping again, I know you’d be good at it:)
