I was trying to make a vintage card today using this beautiful Crafts and Me Sweet Pea image called Come Softly. I'm not sure I can really do vintage but I am quite pleased with my card. The embossing folder and the MFT die that made the bow were gifts from best matey Julie and I just love them! Thank you! The image is coloured in Copics and Promarkers and I won the clock face from Cuddly Buddly when they sponsored the challenge at Marianne's Design in December.
The papers are quite vintagey although I managed to obscure the element that was most obvious and I don't think the image is particularly suited to a vintage card but she is so pretty. I shall have to try harder next time but it's not bad for a first attempt.

If this is the result of having snow, than it's a pitty that the snow has gone.
And with or without snow I make always a mess in my craftroom.
But your card is so georgeous.
You did a great job coloring.
