A Day for Daisies is offering a gorgeous image called Vintage Lady. I wanted to do a very soft, romantic design and so I pulled out my chalks, which I hardly ever use, to color the image. I created the background with distress inks and stamps. Two opposite corners are done with the emboss resist technique. I then knotted some ribbon to give a little more interest.
I also added a handmade flower,some lace and beads. I don't think I like the position of those; design is something I'm still trying to improve.
The lace under the flower and the brown background paper are my "old".
Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!
