Not my usual........and a new header



Hi, today has been really wet so I had some time in my craft room and coloured this adorable image from Funky Kits.
She is called Flora and I decided that a vintage card would suit her best so I set out with that in mind. I was really pleased with the end result, so much so that I decided to make a header for my blog using this card. As you can see I have changed the sentiment to my blog name and put a lace background around it.  I have been searching for a header for quite some time and I loved this image so much that I just knew it was perfect.
The papers are all from my stash, and I coloured cream lace with my Copics to match.
I used Joy Craft and Marianne Creatable dies and Nesties. 
Flowers and gold corner are from Wild Orchid Crafts
Ribbons from stash.
I really enjoyed making this card and I would love to hear your views so if  you have the time to leave a comment I would really appreciate it,  as I don't venture into Vintage very often although I really do love the style.
Thanks for popping in

  3. I just love the wonderul colors of this card, and the idea of coloring lace with Copics is just great! (i color seam binding, just never thought I could do the same with lace... weird, huh?)
    Your coloring is simply perfect, and a great card to use for a heading!
