Visiting a friend

-
Hello Everyone!  Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday.  I finished doing my cleaning, brought the 3 dogs to the groomer and now they smell wonderful :D  So now it's time for a bit of crafting.  Especially since right now it's dark and gloomy outside!!!!  Perfect for crafting!

Today I played with a wonderful set from Create with tlc.  You can find it here.  I just love the vintage look to this so didn't do much in term of coloring.
I'm really sorry that again my picture is crooked... the only excuse I have for it being so crooked is that I think I'm getting a bit of a cold... my head is feeling all stuffed up... so maybe that's why...

Anyway for this card I'm really happy to say that I used some of my scrap papers from previous cards.  I'm pretty sure that this paper came from a K&cie pack.  I used some vintage buttons and the one with the pearl is one lone earring that I removed the clip from :D

I used Victorian Velvet distress ink to color the image and the sentiment.
I really like the sentiment with this.  I used some bling from the dollar store:

I followed this amazing sketch to make it:


I'm entering this card in the following challenge:
  1. Feeling-sketchy - sketch
  2. Whoopsi Daisy - Buttons or bows (went with buttons)
  3. Craft your passion challenges - Blast from the past (I went with the challenge 80 where it was double up with pink :D )
Hope you have liked my creation!  That's it for me.  I'm off to my craft room again and will have 3 post tomorrow!!!

Hugs

Vicky
