I got a bit hooked on this challenge and using DL cards (especially when I found I had a whole box of them that I had forgotten), so I had yet another go. The stamps on this card are from a set on Jane Austen (from
http://www.happy-daze.net/) , called New Jane's Countryside. I used Vintage Photo Distressed Ink. I stamped the main image and then used a blender to soften the lines and "paint" in between them. The sentiment was from the same set, as was the little cameo. Again the cameo was "painted" in, allowed to dry, then sprayed with Crafters Companion gold glitter spray to give it a sheen. The ribbon was out of my box and was part of a Laura Ashley set and just seemed to fit the idea and them. of Jane Austen.. I slit the spine of the card to slot the ribbon through, and secured it with a tape runner at the back.
If you would like to see lots more on the same design brief, just go to
http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/ where you will find more than 100 other cards in this challenge. Like many others, I am still having trouble with the pictures on blogger. Lets hope it gets sorted very soon.

Hi Maggie, you read correctly - a Christmas card. I resolved to make one a week this year so that I don't get into a tizz like I did last year trying to get them all done in a few short weeks. So far, so good, I now have 12 completed cards in stock :) Elizabeth x
So glad you are hooked Maggie, it will mean you will keep coming back!
