Shabby Vintage

I have been trying to improve my vintage style cards and one South African blogger is a real inspiration. Have a look at Amelias blog ,especially her latest post her cards are so stylish.


I am very pleased with this card although it photographed very poorly ...I have yet to find my camera spot in the new home.


I used the Case Study Challenge as my guide and the colours from Playdate Cafe. Both these challenges have become firm favourites for me . The Muse on Case Study is always top notch and the DT's on both Challenges are way above par.


So please have a look at all these blogs ....you will not be disappointed.
So my challenges for this card are Play Date Cafe PDCC85
Case Study #43 where the muse of the moment is Jill Foster
And lastly Totally Gorjuss has a Flower Power theme and two more of SA's crafters are on the DT here... Sharon and Paola

Case Study

Play Date Cafe


 Hope you can see past the poor photography and see that this card is not half bad....

    I know what you mean about these outstanding crafters we have in SA. Breathtaking work. Well, lets focus and keep studying their cards - we must learn a thing or two from them. You are on the right track with these cards.... really great work....

    This is a beautiful card Wendy. Fantastic layering of the sentiment and the little flower bouquet is stunning. Thanks for your kind comment about my cards and the link to my blog - for me it is a privilege to know so many cardmakers each with it own unique style. Also leraning a lot from each of you.
