I recently had a request to make a 50th birthday card for someone who gave me a picture of her sister printed on copy paper! I had no clue how to work with that delicate piece of paper, but this is what I came up with. I distressed the photo by carefully sponging it with vintage photo ink and layered it with ovals and beaded ovals. I found 2 matching ribbons in my stash and wove them through the layers for some vintage interest. The vertical strip was done with 2 pieces of lace and a piece of narrow ribbon between them. The numbers were done with my Quickutz and all the papers are from the Mirabelle stack by the paper studio.
This card is going into the Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge #68 to add distressing.
Thanks for stopping by and may your day be a great one!
