And as always we are being sponsored by our very generous sponsors Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a prize of $30.
But this is providing you have used one of their products on your card but even if you havent they will still give you three digi images of your own choice. Their library is very varied and Im sure you will find lots to cover this theme and anyone you have in mind and you will find their website here.
And now here is my card for this weeks Challenge.
The image I have used is titled "Vintage Phone" (or "I just phoned to say I love you" my song) and you will find it here, the image is so memoriable for me as I can remember them in my fathers offices where he worked in Moorgate in the 50s, yes I know I am getting old but its such a lovely phone that I was drawn to this image very easily.
I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with a Nestabilitie Oval die and a fancy Heart one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have used a oval die and a smaller one of the main one for the mount for this.
The base card is 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of green card, and the paper I have used is the backing paper that came with the image, I printed it and mounted it onto the green card. I then wrapped around the middle a organza ribbon and tied to the back of the first mount, then on the right I have placed a bow and a gem in the middle.
I placed the mounted image in the center of the oval image on the paper and down the left hand side I have laid two leaf flourishes and on the curls I have placed the flowers punched out with Tonic punches and in the middle are some yellow pearls. The sentiment was placed at the bottom on the right hand side.
Now that youve seen my card pleased go and visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and I hope you to will take part in this "For Someone Special" Challenge.

This card caught my eye...I love how you added the little yellow flowers to the green swirl. What a fantastic touch to add to the swirl. This image is colored so beautifully...and her dress is so perfectly shaded. This card made me smile...made me think of "the old days"...some of which aren't that old to me. Sigh... Beautiful card! --Gail
Stunning card my friend. My granny had the post office on the farm where she grew up and they did also had the phone switch there for the whole village. Been there to see it and this reminds me of that. I love this image too.
