Good morning! We have a great theme at CRAFT Challenge this week: Distress/Vintage. This fab Art Deco style image is Talk to Myself by Pickled Potpourri. I used some very old black and white paper from my stash and a gorgeous piece of lace from a Crafteezee kit from Noor! Design. I roughed up all the edges with scissors and used Pumice Stone ink to distress them. The feathers are made with an old stamp which came with a magazine, I gold-embossed and fussy-cut them, then added them with a gold dazzler from Hobbycraft. Our sponsors this week are: Pickled Potpourri and DRS Designs Have a look at my teamies' creations on the challenge blog, they are gorgeous! Thanks for looking, and have a great day! love Mags B x

I cut back the front of the card and glued the sentiments on the back. Then I added the feathers, and also two fabulous ornaments , also from the Noor! Shop. I'm so pleased w...
