Here's my second submission for this weeks Crafty Secrets challenge.."Enough is Enough"...stop hoarding those goodies!
The featured flowers and sentiment are actually an old vintage post card that was originally printed in Germany. The sentiment is in silver glitter (original) and I mounted it on a piece of DSP from Crafty Secrets radiant paper pad. I'm so glad to use one of these postcards my Dad found for me at an antique store. Other items I have been hoarding are the Flirty Ribbons and rick rack. I made the stick pin with a quilters straight pin and the butterfly was in the jewelry findings dept. @ Joanns. I just love the little SU buttons on the punched flowers. Hope you like it!

This is so pretty - old post cards are some of my favorite and I especially like the stick pin - I too would be interested in finding out where to get the bottom of the pin covers. Dru

Love your pin, trims, and bkgd paper you used. TFS. Just told my mom I started doing vintage stamping and asked her to keep her eyes open at those flea markets. I bet you were excited to get those cards!
