Hi, guys! We have a new Challenge at Dream Valley - Vintage! Our lovely sponsor is Di's Digi Stamps and I have used this fabulous 1920s Flapper Girl image, which I have had for some time. Sadly she is out of print now. The background paper and sentiment are from the Downton Abbey collection from Crafter's Companion, they were a magazine freebie. The pearls and lace are from stash.

All the edges are distressed lightly with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. My teamies have made some beautiful cards following the theme! Charleston over to the Challenge blog and have a look! Thanks for looking! love Mags B x

I got out my Spellbinders dies for this card: the flower is made with the Rose Creations set, the oval is the largest of the Floral Ovals, and the sentiment is on a Fancy Tag.
