Vintage for Mum

Hi Peeps,

Wooo Hooooo, sorry just had to get that in first...... I've reached 1000 Followers.  Thank you to everyone new and existing, I love reading your comments and receiving your emails.  I can only apologise for not doing as much visiting of late but I've had a few personal issues going on in the background and just not enough hours in the day.  I'm working on some more celebration candy, I know not more.....lol.  I'm like a bus aren't I, you wait for ages and then 3 come along at once.

Today, I want to share with you another card for my Mum whose birthday is next week.  She's not had a good time of late with one illness or another and then on Monday following a CT scan for which they thought she had Parkinson's, it showed that she has dementia.  Coupled with the excrutiating pain of her back and neck, for which she won't undergo another cortisone injection and refuses the operation, so with the addition of losing her memory she's not in the best of spirits, so maybe this card will bring a little smile.

The image is from a sheet from Marianne Designs, I really love them and they make quick cards as you don't have to colour them. This image is from the Marianne Design 3D Cutting Sheet Spring VK9523.

The oval frame is Marianne Designs Craftables Oval CR1204

The die used across the bottom is the new March release Marianne Design Creatables Anja Border LR0212.  All have been inked using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink.

I have again used the beautiful Marianne Designs Craftable Butterfly CR1205

The floral display is a mix of Marianne Designs dark pink JU0850, Vintage Cream Roses JU0847, Pink Paper Rose Buds JU0848, coupled with the leaf dies Marianne Designs Creatables Decorative Elegance LR0157 and Marianne Designs Creatables Branch Forest LR0150

The postcard stamping at the top is a stamp by Kaiser craft "post marks" available HERE

The little tag is by Magnolia Doohickey Wrapped So lovely.  I placed it through my crimper and added some white acrylic paint, ribbon, Marianne Design Vintage Lace pack JU 0823 and charm and of course I stamped out the little letters for MUM.

The papers are all from the new Marianne Design Pretty Papers Bloc Vintage Pastels.
