Stampin for the Weekend Challenge - Days gone By

This weeks challenge means that you have to create a card with a vintage look, Ive tried to colour my Sarah Kay image with some distressed inks, not sure its been to successful but Im not going to worry about it to much (her hair is a rather striking red colour, dont you think), I also used some of the ink to distress the edges. After colouring her Ive cut her out with my rotatrim and mounted her onto a piece of dark red card. I also stamped a greeting onto white card and mounted this in the same was as the stamped image.

The base card this time is a 7.50"x 7.50" base card, and onto this I have layered up a piece of the same red card, and one of the Bearly Mine Designs, these are from the first Extreme Designs Cd. I have actually used four of the papers, and the first one Ive used whole, and stuck this to the base mount. The other layers have all been torn along the edge and layered up and with the last one Ive used a pink inkpad just to finish of the edge.

I then stuck some lace around the base layer and stuck it to the back. The mounted image was then stuck in the centre, and the sentiments was positioned to the right hand side at the bottom of the card.

To finish of Ive created two flowers with some punched out leaves, which were stuck to the card with some silicone glue and two mulberry flowers from Hobbycrafts, which were stuck on top.
