Crafty Little Fairies Challenge - Vintage/Shabby Chic

The theme of this fortnight's Crafty Little Fairies Challenge is:

'Vintage or Shabby Chic'

We are sponsored for this challenge by the Ribbon Girl:
Prize - a £10 Gift Voucher!

I've used a Lili of the Valley image called 'Little Girls - Swing Time' which I coloured using watercolour pencils...then distressed the edges using 'Old Paper' and 'Brushed Corduroy' Distress Inks and my distressing tool. The papers are from the 'So Sophie' pad by My Mind's Eye...I inked the edges using more 'Brushed Corduroy' Distress Ink, then distressed them a little, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment stamp is also by Lili of the Valley, and th pearls are from Hobbycraft.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

Lili of the Valley are celebrating their 10th birthday soon...so I'm also linking this card to their monthly challenge:

    Hello Helen
    Your card is absolutely adorable. I love the many details and colors. Cards in the same color in different shades are great. The stamp is colored fantastic.
