You know nic I wasnt sure if I liked this card, but the funny thing is I actually do. Isnt it strange when we are presented with something completely different how our eye sees it. Usually with vinatage cards they are in black and white or vintage browns so when you did the yellow it didn't look right but the more I looked at it the more it grew on me. Thank you for sharing this card and making me see something I hadn't before..
WOW!! This is such a stunning card! Love,love the details! Thanks for joining us over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week! Good Luck! Hugs and sunshine
Stunning Nic! I love all your styles of cards, but these vintage ones are pure delight and a real favourite of mine when you post one! Glorious! Hugs, Juliexx
Hi Miss healthy gums wow how well are you doing no ciggies and you have lost weight most people substitute the ciggies for sweets and pile on the weight so WELL DONE!!!

What a fun and romantic card. Thanks for joining us at the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge and good luck!
