Hello everyone,
A lovely sketch at the Papercraft Star challenge blog inspired me to make this card. The Papercraft Star challenge blog became one of my favourite challenge blogs with their fantastic design team cards and inspirational challenges. What I love the most is that the challenges are posted well in advance so no rush to create a card for a challenge that you really want to enter. For my card I used a free vintage scrap from The Graphics Fairy . What a lovely collection of vintage images Karen have on her fantastic blog. This image is a chocolate advertising card and called “Pretty swallow with roses”. The lovely flowers were send to me from Singapore by Viola Mahr – a wonderful and very talented card maker whose creations I admire a lot.
