Vintage Hanglar Card

Hello! It feels like ages since I've posted on my blog! We're all moved in now to our new house and we're settling in really well! I haven't really been in the crafting mood over the last couple of weeks, because I wanted to settle in and relax a bit first, plus my craft stuff is at the bottom of my wardrobe at the moment, so it's not very accessible. Eventually though, my dad is going to put some floating shelves up in my room, so I can store things on there and then move my craft stuff somewhere else.
When I made this card yesterday, I realised how much I'd missed card making!

I've made it to enter into a few different challenges and I used my mum's new Tim Holtz stamps, which I really like!
I also had a go at doing a sepia effect with my colouring again, and I'm pleased with how it came out, as it's something a bit different and makes a card look a bit more vintage.




Materials:
Image: Hanglar
'Love' Sentiment & Stamped Text: Tim Holtz
Doily: From My Stash
Papers: Prima - Annalee
Colouring: Polychromatic Pencils
Cardstock: Bazzil
Flowers: From My Stash
Newspaper-Style Flowers: Printed Off The Computer and Punched With Woodware Punch
Wooden Heart: From My Stash
Pearls: Martha Stewart
Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Brushed Corduroy
Chandelier Branch: From My Stash


Over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge this week, the theme is to use newspaper on your card. I couldn't find a newspaper at our house, so I printed some newspaper text off the computer and punched flowers out of it, and then what did my mum bring back from the shop about five minutes later?...a newspaper! Typical! :)

I'm so glad it's the summer holidays now! So far, I've been chilling out a lot, plus I don't have much homework to do, which is nice! Today, we're all going to our local farm to get some gravel for our new back garden and me and my brother will probably feed the animals!

I'm entering my card into these challenges:

- Allsorts Challenge - Free 'n' Easy
- Colour Create - Cream, Aqua and Pale Pink
- Creative Card Crew - Animal Antics
- Papertake Weekly - Getting Cute
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Use Newspaper
- Stamp Something - Something Embellished
- Stampin' For The Weekend - Paws For Thought

Anyway, I'd better go now. Thank you for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Love, Georgia xx
