Take a Word - Vintage

I just put this on my non-challenge blog so I think it is new enough to use for the Take a Word challenge.

Aino posted a canvas background she had made as a freebie for us to use. I loved the colors she used. They looked so vintage to me. I took a photo from my vintage relatives folder and changed the color to match the background. I used some of my own digital brushes as well as one of Annika von Holdt's. The gorgeous lace in the corner is a freebie from Junibears.

    Faye, you're right, the colors are pretty much vintage and you did a lovely job with the gorgeous bcg.

    Oh WOW, Faye. This all came together in a beautiful piece. I love the color and the touch of lace. Scrumptious.

    (I'd forgotten about the Burma Shave signs until you mentioned them. Thanks for jogging my memory. I loved them too!)

    Faye, I'm sorry to be so late with my comment. For some reason your entry slipped by me. I always go back and check each one and was surprised that I had missed you along the way.
    Your vintage piece is exquisite. I love the rich pinks you have chosen and the lace in the corner is exquisite. Great work.
