Vintage/Shabby Chic

Welcome to the weekend, that was another long week.  I have some sad news as this will be my last post as design team member for Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge. I have enjoyed working as one of the team, they are a great bunch of ladies and I'm sorry to be leaving. Thank you to Jane for letting me join in on some wonderful challenges and wish the blog lots more success in the future.  
Its my turn to chose this weeks challenge.  My choice is "Vintage/Shabby Chic" 
This card I made for my lovely Mum for Mothers day.  Love this new Tilda she is just soooo cute! I have teamed her up with some new papers from Prima - Natural garden loving all the blues and grey's and looks stunning combined with the vintage/shabby chic style.  All the edges have been distressed with walnut satin and antique linen.  The large scroll is a die from Cheery Lynn called Victoria lace scroll. 

Copic Colours
Hat & Shoes
E44, 43, 41, 40
Hair & Skin 
E29, 27, 25, 31 
Dress & Socks

Background

My E41 and E44 were running out so filled them up only to realize after the fact that I filled them up with the wrong colour! lol the only upside is that I get to go to my local craft store to pick up another one and while I'm where I will more than likely pick up a few more crafting bits.
