Vintage Travel

Hi there my blog friends, just to let you all know i will be posting a pic of the extra candy i have later today but for now i ahve a card to share with you all.
The card i am sharing is in a vintage style and depicts travel, journeys and holidays. I have handmade my flower using organza pieces and heating them up with a heat gun to get a ruffled look.

I have really enjoyed my short time as a Diva and i hope you will all join me in wishing Lynne a speedy recovery. Why not pop over to the Do It With Digis and leave Lynne a fond farewell, i'm sure she will appreciate it!! Get well soon Lynne xx

My card i am sharing with you today has been created using a digital image from Create with TLC
it's not my usual style as i normally make quite girly cards with pinks, purples and aquas. I couldn't resist trying this image out on a card, i have coloured the strawberries with Promarkers and then added some glossy accents to create a juicy effect.
