Designed to color- vintage/shabby chic


Evening Peeps!!
I know 2 posts in one day again..but I just had to join in with the Designed to Color blogs fun theme week. So this is my take on vintage/shabby chic and of course a mega super cute My bite is worse than his bark from Krista had to be used, squeeeee she is just awesome because I love vampires and am just a bit twilight obsessed!!! he he he!!

She even has a little sparkley diamondy face a la sparkly edward and bella so she can be my little baby rennesmee!!!

My papers are Crab Apple to from nitwits and I added a bit of lace and some yummy roses made with my Mini Royal Roses die, it is by far one of my fav dies at the minute. The little tag is my SU teeny tags and jewellery punch.

Now, stitching let me tell ya'll about stitching! I love to stitch, all by hand because I am so pants with a sewing machine its funny!!! when I first started crafting I started out my crafting journey with cross stitch and I still find handstitching so unbelievably relaxing and I really enjoyed chilling out and stitching around this card today.

Right, I am going to pootle off now and have a nice deep bath.
Thank you so much for popping back in on me today
huge hugs Lou xxx

  17. Lou, LOL over you and your thing with vampires. I have to say that the thing that jumped off the page at me was the beautiful stitching. It's gorgeous to go with the rest of the card.
