Cheerful Monday #18 - From The Past

I am a bit late but here is my project for Vicki's new challenge ... I am sure you will love it: From The Past. I used a lovely image from this month's challenge sponsor 'Vintage Image Craft'

 It shouted loudly at me to be used with fabric and lace and I just couldn't resist

 

The image is printed on white muslin and backed with some bondaweb and calico.

I layered lots of vintage lace and chiffon flower ribbon around the image,

mainly by hand-stitching to secure the layers.

 

 To one of the corners I added the only bit of paper on this little fabric hanging,

a left-over piece of musical note doily (paper: Kaisercraft).

Otherwise the corners are decorated with lace flower, ribbon and buttons.

 When I looked at my 'finished' piece I thought the sides needed a bit more doing

and ended up with a little bit of embroidery ... one French knot to each heart of the cream lace!

More fabulous projects are waiting for you at the Cheerful Stamp Pad, hope you can join us for the challenge! Petra.
