ALLSORTS CHALLENGE - WEEK 13

Hi Everyone

Here we are again with another lovely Saturday morning and another lovely Allsorts Challenge.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who joined us last week for Lisa's 3-2-1 recipe challenge and also to Helen for all her hard work as our Guest DT winner.

The theme for this week's challenge has been set by Gro - and she has chosen a theme of "Vintage".

I have to admit that this really was a challenge for me. I don't normally do vintage - but I have to say I did actually enjoy trying something I wouldn't normally attempt. Thank you Gro.

The prize this week will be 6 ProMarker Pens .. .. .. .. lovely .. .. .. you can never have too many of these beauties!!!!

Here is my card for the Vintage theme


This used:

Image: Hampton Art Stamps 4520 "Odes"
Background papers: Memory Store
Charm: Papermania
ProMarkers, chalks, metallic wax
Feather, ribbons, gems and nail heads from the stash box

I paper-pieced the ladies dress and used both chalk and metallic wax on the image background.

So there you go. A very different card from me today. That is the beauty of a challenge.

I hope you get chance to play along.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you for calling by.

Love Jules xx
