VINTAGE KIDS X 3

Hi all today I have 3 cards to show you that I have made with some beautiful images from, NICECRANE DESIGNS, I had seen them shown on a few other blogs and I now have one of the sets.  They do not need a lot of colouring and as they are Vintage I have only added a smidgen of colour using promarkers.

For my first card I thought this image would be great for a Christmas themed card, I have used Bearly Mine papers which I distressed with TH Vintage Photo Ink.  I have used a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles frame, cut and embossed with my Grand Caliber, I added die cut snowflakes and a computer generated sentiment, all of which have been distressed with Vintage Photo ink. Finally I used a punch for the Holly and added some blue gems.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

TOTALLY PAPERCRAFTS - FRAME IT

MY MUMS CRAFT SHOP - CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

I LOVE PROMARKERS - VINTAGE

, 

For my second card I have gone a little bit on the pink and brown side which are my all time favourite colours, the papers are Papermania I have added an organza ribbon and bow, flowers, pearls and sentiment

I would like to enter this card and my third card into the following challenges:
