One of the sponsors of the challenge is Elisabeth Bell and I used some of her lovely toppers that I bought from Foil Play. Papers are from  a Glad Tidings 25 days of Christmas pack by Simple Stories,brushing edges of the toppers and papers with vintage photo distress ink. I added the lace for a bit more of a vintage look.

Penny's challenge 295: anything goes

This is my design card for Penny's challenge 295. Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting by the rest of the team and we would love to see your entries.

I used a pre-coloured image from Melonheadz, one of this week's sponsors of the challenge, adding the sentiment on computer before printing.

I used an offcut piece of 'baby' paper for the background on to which I layered an offcut piece of lovely K & Co embossed vellum, adding some matching pieces from K & Co. In real life you can see through the vellum a bit better than in the photo.
