Vintage Birthday Wishes


Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a card that I posted over on The Digi Bells Blog.
I've used "Li'l Princess Tu-tu" from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  Believe it or not, I actually had colored this darling image a long time ago (and I do mean a LONG time ago) Apparently I colored her and was going to use her, and then changed my mind... I tend to do those things... So rather than throw it away, I save my colored images, and every now and then I go through it, and see if there is something I wish to use.... This just so happened to be one of those times!


I really hate to deliberately wrinkle an image, but for this card, I knew I wanted the look of something old. So as much as it pained me to do it, I misted it with a slight amount of water, and just wadded it up in my hand... OH MY!!
I've added some vintage photo distress ink by Tim Holtz, and then embellished with some odds and ends that I had in my stash.

Have you heard that The Digi Bells are now on Facebook with a new Facebook group called "Elisabeth Bells World"
A place to chat, share, and inspire.
