Vintage...warm thoughts

Good morning again...it's Saturday anyway, for those of you waiting on the weekend!  I'm hoping for a good one, as I'm heading into the big city with my two granddaughters and one of my daughters to see a show...Heartbeat of Home, and we are making a weekend of it.  Last weekend I went in with another daughter and saw Les Mis.  I'm on a roll!  Definitely need the escape from the nasty weather, even if just for a few hours.


So, in keeping with 'warm thoughts', how about these pretty lacy bits!  This is another sweet image from Just Inklined, titled Petticoats Three.  Very feminine and well suited for a vintage card.

I decided on a frame for the image, using 2 sizes of the Spellbinders Labels Two die.   I then covered it with clear crackle paint, followed by distress ink.  A couple of coordinating papers and a MS punch for the background, and then the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die for some added interest.  Just a few flowers and pearls for the finishing touches.  No sentiment yet, until I decide who it is for.

Stay safe everyone, and have a lovely weekend!
