Grandmother's love.....

Hello, I hope you are all well?!......

Having said my 'thank you's' I thought I'd show you this card. This was a first for me, as in I made it for a challenge on the DoCraft site...Clare's Challenge of the week. I've never made a card for a challenge before, other than the one I did for Vicki's blog candy a while back, but I thought I could muster something up for this one as you needed to incorporate some form of 'doodling, drawing' into your card.........well I thought...hehe.
This was another of my sketches from old photos, me, my nan & my cousin.

The pp is Papermania Silk Screened Paper, you can't see to well from the photo but there is a gorgeous sheen & finish to the surface mmm.....yummy!!!
Pink vellum, brads & eyelets are all Papermania too. The lace, braid & buttons are as before from a local shop.
As you might be able to see I have ever so slightly distressed.........lol.

Thanks for dropping by & hopefully I'll see you again soon,
Kerry xxx
