A Vintage Style Easter

Hello everyone~  Today I'm sharing a project made for Craft Dee BowZ.  This is the company that makes the compact little bow tying tool I use nearly every day!  I found a delightful, vintage image on line and designed this card around it...

Layers of distressed papers, stitching, ribbon, a flower, antique trim, stained cheescloth, pearls, a feather, a die cut wreath….all favorite things, went into this card...

A length of ribbon runs along the bottom edge and is topped with some antique trim.  The corner sports a multi-looped bow and a chiffon flower...

This corner shows off some of the papery layers, a white feather tucked in between and a piece of spring fern peeking out from under the cheesecloth.  Some pearls add some shine and light...

A delicate branching wreath, cut from patterned paper was also tucked into the layers...

For this charming image, I used some treasured silk buttonhole twist to stitch a border.  It is thicker than sewing thread and has the most wonderful sheen.
Here is the image for your own enjoyment.  I have searched the internet and not found any copyright restrictions on it's use...

With spring just a few days away, it is my hope you are feeling some warmth from the sun and seeing the stirrings in the trees and creatures around us...
I will be entering this card into these challenges;
Sending you ((hugs)) and blessings,
Rebecca
