I tried something different today and would love to know what you think.
My friend Natalie (Sequin) had sent me a gorgeous RAK which included this piece of Blueberry Hill paper and Flower Fairy Topper.  I was actually going to use the Flower Fairy stacker that was in the RAK but it was a bit big for this design.  I’ve changed the look of the paper by making it look old - I used an brown ink pad all around it, then rubbed my nail file over it to try and make it look old.  When I first started adding the ink I thought “Oh my god it’s gonna look awful”.  I added some pink glitter to the roses as well.  I also added clear glitter to the fairy topper, on her wings, the rose and dress edge.  I then added some rustic eyelets to the four corners - I’m hoping I’ve got a vintage look to this card.  Michelle x

Oooooh hunny that is absolutely beautiful!  You’ve definitely succeeded with giving it a vintage feel.  And that fairy is soooo cute.  How nice of Natalie to spoil you like that!
