Friday with some Vintage flair

It's Friday, folks!!

I, for one, am so relieved!

It's been a crazy week:

Little Miss was, and is still, sick; coughing, sneezing--poor thing!

She is getting much better--thankfully.

We have a new neighbor!

Personally, I think this neighbor is the best one yet!

The momma bird decided to make her nest on TOP of the bird house!

We have a great view of her, from our blcony and from inside the house.

The window is right beside our kitchen. I guess she feels safe!

She doesn't fly off when we step out onto the balcony.

The kids are excited---I think it's a great learning experience for them.

Anyways, i will keep you updated on her progress!

Today is Friday, which means it's

UNITY'S FRIENDS WITH FLAIR!!

I was able to conjure up something this week.

Sometimes, too many ideas in the head, 

and they do not come out properly onto paper/canvas.

Frustrating with a capital "F"!

Here is what I did this week.

It is kinda vintage. Something new for me.

I used TH Distress Ink, walnut Stain, on the stamp, from Unity's KOM (Jan.), 

and then went over with a fine paint brush. 

I then added some color on the woman's dress, with a Distress marker--worn Lipstick.

Also the hearts were done with another marker--Barn red.

I think it gives the card a sepia look--what I was hoping to acheive.

I used older MME papers, and Bo Bunny ribbon, 

with WRMK twine to hold the Love charm.

I would also like to enter this card into 
following challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack: FFC #88 It's Sketch time

My card closely resembles the following sketch:

Overall, I am quite content with my card!

So, that is it for me for now!

A la prochain, mes amies!

Be safe. Get crafty!
