Hello dear blog friends,
Saturday and a card to share with you for our challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow. For this challenge we have a guest designer that wowed us with her beautiful vintage cards. She is Heidi Augustson a.k.a. Filharmonica and you can see more of her work here. The challenge is Tic-Tac-Toe and the card must be in the vintage, shabby or primitive style.
For my card I used several lines on the diagram. First line featured on my card is lace, ribbon and pearls – my favourite embellishments. The second line is embossing, ribbon and distressing and the third line flowers, pearls and a die cut. I love it when a plan comes tegether! The images are from The House Across The Bay “Come For Tea” digital collage sheet. Aren’t they lovely, it was a difficult decision to choose which inchie to put on the card. The Spellbinders ” Decorative Labels Eight” die cut for the sentiment is a new addition to my stash.
