I could not resist another chance to play along with the Featured Stamper where Smilyn Steph is being honoured this week. I love this card with the bicycles: Waxyo Inspired Bikes by SmilynStef at Splitcoaststampers
and used this image from the 'Divine Miss M' (aka Stamp Muse)
I coloured the image with chalking, using a blender pen and sponged around the edges with Distressing Ink. It was layered onto black CS and attached to the DP. Vintage corners were added two two corners, thanks to Lesley (aka SuperNan aka MUM!! LOL)
The final touch is the strip of lace that has had a small pearl added to each loop along the way. Oh and two choclate pearls were added to the top left hand corner - just to balance it!!
There you have it - quick and easy - I am happy to day that this is made up of more bits and pieces that have been lying on my desk - what a great feeling to actually see it! A few more cards and I might have completed the task! I love this faux cleaning!!
Thanks for looking and the encouraging comments you leave me - you are such a blessing! I love these 'cruisy' days I am having...I hope your days are relaxed and you are winding down for the New Year! You cand find me and more on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com

Linda! Beautiful, beautiful case! I bought this stamp when I was at my brother's in NC, after passing it up three times! It had to be, and now I have inspiration to use it! I kept thinking....Flower Soft, those flowers need Flower Soft, so into the basket it went! I love your wonderful layout, and gorgeous colouring. Your framing and pearls are delish! LYMI, hugs....

Linda, Linda, Linda, you do put out - beautiful cards, that is? LOL!!! Couldn't resist that one!! I'm so far behind in your gallery and will get to it, but I want to wait till I have time to soak in all your new uploads my friend. I happened to catch this on the FS challenge for this week and it knocked my socks off!! Linda, you do such beautiful vintage work. Sometimes I just can't believe my eyes. THAT beautiful lace/pearl treatment is to die for!!! And, I love the b/g paper, the sponging, die cuts and image and, of course, your coloring of the image is perfecto!!! You really played tribute to Stef this week with this winner!! TFS!!
