a MIXED MEDIA PIECE with a VINTAGE THEME

.. for the Art 'n' Soul challenge which was posted by Viv ... with a few requirements:
Your piece must measure at least 4 inches square or be of a reasonable postcard size (5 inches by 3 inches minimum)
and may be made from paper, mountboard, chipboard, canvas or fabric.
You must incorporate at least 2 (or all) of the following elements -
A vintage image (stamped or printed)
Paper collage
Some lace or ribbon or fabric
A button or other embellishment
Embossing or texture

The hanging is about 5"x3" layered on K&Company paper and Kraft card from Elzybells. The background is a musical sheet from the Graphics Fairy which I printed on card and distressed the edges lightly (all distressing is done with Ranger distress ink 'Pumice Stone'). The lace is held in place with some beads. The lady vintage image is from Magic Moonlight Free Images. I printed it on textured off-white card, slightly distressed the edges and put it on embossed K&Company paper. As embellishments I did some 'fuzzy' rose cutting which I found at Marie's Freebies and the last touches are some blings and a bow. Have a lovely Sunday, Petra.
