Vintage Rocker

It was craft night last night, and, although we were a bit thin on the ground, after our tea and home made strawberry milkshake cupcakes (recipe on my baking blog here), we enjoyed making rocker cards.
 I decided to go vintage with mine, and use my stunning new Prima Fairy Rhymes papers.  I've long been a fan of Prima papers, the designs and colours are, I think unrivaled, the quality is superb, and at eight quid for a large A4 pack from Joanna Sheen, you, can't grumble at the price either.  They even smell great which is always a bonus when you are a "Papersniffer"!  I think the stack has eclipsed my previous favourite, Sun Kiss, maybe it's just coz it's new, but I really love how one of the designs is a sheet of ephemera ads that can be cut up and used as embellishments as I've done here.  Expect to see lots more from this new pack!
I used Grand dies to make the card base and circular upper section, and a Splendid Circles die for the lacy mat.  I used a rich cream cardstock for the card base, all the other papers are from my new stack.
The beautiful digi is one of the new vintage images from Pink Gem, she's called Megan and you'll find her in the store here.  I coloured her with my usual Promarkers.
I love vintage ephemera cards as they allow me to go wild with the embellies, there was no holding me back with this one, I went wild with lace, a bow, feathers, buttons, dew drops, pearls and gems!
