Romantic vintage

Happy Thursday everyone!  Here I am with more of my Quixotic Paperie faves with a style that is not my usual - vintage!  And I'm not sure if it's vintage enough because I don't do lots of embellishing!



Isn't this lady beautiful?  And a pleasure to colour in.  She is Make It Crafty Elizabeth J and I matched her with papers from the BasicGrey Curio.  I embellished with laser cut dies Make It Crafty Fancy Ribbon Sliders and Make It Crafty Butterfly Leaves finished with 4mm flat backed pearls.  For the ribbon, I got some seam binding and inked it with Tim Holts Distress Stains in Forest Moss, Vintage Photo and Wild Honey that I also inked up all the edges with along with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink.  And that's it!
