A bit of Vintage

Morning dear peeps

and Happy Monday, another weekend over oh so quickly!!  I had all the ingredients of today's card laid out (as I always do) and looking at it all I thought oh wow this is such pretty stuff it should be a good one but  its really not doing it for me, something is def not right LOl.  Its for my MIL for Mothers day and hubby loves it so I am gonna send it but just feel a little disappointed.   The image of course is gorgeous and after checking out what was my mums  favourite colour I thought I should probably use it. Maybe its the colour I am not keen on!!

Anyway here it is, see what you think........





The image is Pion Design 'Ladies and the papers are MME, I used lots of lace and gesso and pretty pearls.
