I had such fun creating with the new stamps from Artistic Outpost. There are so many possibilities and options for creativity.
This adorable little girl from the Lovely Day plate is perfect for some paper piecing. I stamped her on a piece of pink Basic Grey Porcelain DP and then paper pieced everything but her tights using other papers from the collection. I added a few tiny flowers cut from the DP with adhesive pearl centers and some wide eyelet lace to finish the design. I think she is perfect for the Spring Card challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges.
Here's a cute little thrinchie (actually I think it's about 2 3/4" square) using the beautiful flower image from the same set that is also perfect for Spring ... such a quick a simple card to make. I stamped it in Adirondack Currant ink on a scrap of Cosmo Cricket Ever After DP and colored it with Shimmer Chalks. This card works perfectly for Lucy's Clean & Simple Card Challenge.

Love your vintage card! Wonderful use of the image and that lace. I think it will be perfect for the current Carrdvarks challenge-use of lace)!!
