Enjoy the Journey!

My intention was to make a very romantic card, but this went more to grunge look. I can't remember at which point the project changed direction, got caught up in the process I guess, he he.

Stamps: the focal image is PB, all other stamps are TH
Decor paper: Laura Ashley and K&C
Tools: MS border punch, CB flower die
Accesoires: Rangers Distress embossing powder, Liquid Pearls, Stickles, Distress Inks, brad and ribbon are from my stash. Even the ribbon did get some Distress Inks in my try to go for the vintage look. The card looks very clean anyway!

Sir Stampalot Challenge: Bring on the Bling!
Moving Along With the Times: Glitter!
Cupcake Craft Challenges: Blue and Green
Colour Create Challenge: Ivory, duck egg blue and green
Creatalicious Challenges: Vintage

Today I bought some adhesives and aquarelle paper and a fab sponge brush, I do hoard brushes, but kept my fingers from all other goodies. I'm saving for a bigger shopping spree and to achieve that I'm counting my projects. Just to show myself that I'm not in any kind of shortage :)
