Going Vintage

Cor what was up with blogger last night? I was all set to go commenting and I couldn't see any pictures at all. Still, it's all better this morning! It's challenge time again at Creative Card Crew and this time we want to see your 'Vintage' creations. Please check out the other DT creations for some Vintage inspiration. We've all been given a digi image from our sponsor to use:

I'll be the first to stick my hand up and say that vintage isn't easy for me! But a challenge wouldn't be a challenge if they were all easy eh? So I used this little boy on the beach image and printed him on cream card and coloured him in using Stampin' Up! ink pads and an aqua brush. I distressed the edges of all the card with a distressing tool and used a dauber dipped in Mellow Moss ink to 'tatty' up the look a little. I thought the papers were quite vinatge and they set my colour theme.

The sentiment is from a now retired Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration set 'Whimsical Words' and the starfish was a lucky find. Ages ago I'd bought a few scrapbooking bits from Tesco and this was stuck on one of the page borders!

I'm joining in a few challenges with this one:

• The Pink Elephant - Pastels
• Truly Scrumptious - Sketch
• Creative Friday - Photo inspiration (I chose the colours)

Now a few days ago I mentioned how Blake wasn't loving trying savoury foods and mentioned he pulls a face when he tries. So for a giggle, here is my bubba eating toast and loving it (well sort of!):

Compare that when trying a few spoonfulls of lentil casserole:

Hmm, it's going to be an interesting advernture into the world of savouries. And yes that is casserole in his hair!
