This is my first attempt at trying to do a "vintage look". I don't know if I totally succeeded or not. You'll have to let me know what you think. I feel that it still needs something, but I'm not sure what. The image is from some software that I've had for years. The lace is fairly new, but I'm not really happy with it, it was entirely too white, so I coffee and then tea died it, but it still didn't come out exactly how I wanted.
This is the first image that I have only used chalks on. I've actually had these chalks for over 25 years; I used them when I did ceramics. The punch is by MS; ribbon, buttons and butterfly are from Michaels dollar bins.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Sketch and Stash Challenge - sketch and my stash is the chalk and new item is the ribbon
Allsorts Challenge - summer
The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - summer

Hi Deb! I think yuo were very creative here and it was a fab idea to dye the lace with coffee (or was it tea?) anyway....
To answer your question, don't worry I didn't recieve multiple emails when you had trouble posting yesterday. Only one. :-)
