Pam, our newset FS has a wonderful gallery. I don't have a sister, but my Mum had 2 and from there I was away after seeing this card. Sister Love by Pammyjo at Splitcoaststampers
On printer paper, I printed a photo of Mum aged 17, sitting down, and her older sister Kate - newly blonde! Made a mask and stamped the script over the top. Sponged the floral panel with distress ink, wrapped wide lace, cotton lace and ric-rac around it and secured to the card front. Matted the photo onto matt silver and wrapped more lace and ribbon around it. Added a lace bow, printed word, pearls coloured with a beige copic marker, and 3 buttons from my Mum's button box. My changes: Made the card square, added lace and buttons, and moved the bow position.
This will be this weeks card for my elderly aunt in London - the wife of the sisters' youngest brother.
~ Enjoy your week Pam ~

Wow - a vintage style beauty (the card and the girls). Love the way your mind worked with this, Sandie. The lace, buttons, and script are all fabulous additions. LOVE this case. Your aunt will too. Hugz

Omigosh Sandie, this is stunning. Your masking must have been perfect because your overstepping on the photo is perfect and looks fabulous. I love the vintage look and feel you created with the bg papers, sponging and ephemera. Fabulous card and how wonderful to have it so personalized for your aunt.

Such a FABULOUS vintage look, love love all your details and attention to the time it took for each one. Thank you for playing in the challenge and I'm glad you found some inspiration to case. To be honest, when I first saw your card I thought for sure you had cased this one instead....lol

Sandie, This is a wonderful case of Pam's card. The image, background pattern and lace, rick rack and button embellishments all work together to create this wonderful vintage feel. I love that you used a photo of your mom and aunt. What a treasure!
