I cut my image out using a decorative Nestie shape, and inked around the edges, with the die still in place, so that the edging looks like lace. I've coloured the image with my trusty Polychromos pencils, using the cream pencil as a blender, to give everything a very vintage tone. I love the look that this gives. I created a computer generated sentiment, and gave the shape the same treatment as the main image. I used Scattered Straw Distress Ink to colour the edges. I added some toning buttons and some pretty turquoise lace to finish my card.

Beautiful vintage (& lace) design Judith. I love the colours and your colouring with the pencils is fabulous. Take care, Shirleyxx
I love this image too Judith, and you've colored it so beautifully. Thank-you so much for the tip on using a cream color as a blender, what a great idea! I will try that next time.

Hi Judith, lovely soft toned card and beautiful nesties, love these stamps too, they have such an unique style! warm greet Mirandax
Beautiful card, the image is lovely and it has been made the most of in such a delicate way.
Love the way the lacey edges of the image & sentiment panel give the ethereal sense of wings which there's a hint of in the image detail. The dotty background echoes the little baby's robe beautifully too & I particularly like the way your buttons echo the dots too.
