Karen (Some Days are Diamonds) has founded this new sisterhood,
and today is rush day!
Karen provided the image and we were instructed to let our imaginations take us where they will.
I printed the vintage postcard on photo paper, and used vintage and antique elements (book cover, velvet ribbon, mother of pearl buckle, and lace doily) to create "Me & My Gals."
I coffee dyed a fabric rose and reinvented the petals joining them with vintage cupcake paper, hand crochet lace doily, and vintage floral button .
There was one more rule that Karen set forth, we must be photographed with our work. While I am always camera shy, I truly have no wish to show myself here with the tomato red nose and watery eyes that have accompanied the wonderful summer cold I have been suffering through this week. So please excuse me if I tweak the rules a little.
So, here I am on a better day.Thanks to Karen, now the fun really begins, blog-hopping!
enJOY Your Blessings,
Kimberly

Hey Girl! I love that you placed it on an old book cover! The texture is marvelous! and the flower . . . clever! Great job!
Sorry about the allergy thing - I feel so blessed not to have to worry about those. I did when I was a kid - but thankfully - grew out of it.

Hi Kimberly,
I love your postcard and I really love how you displayed it on your angel. Just noticed your etsy shop link and realized I know you from there. I have you saved as one of my favorite shops. Nice to now know you as a sister!
I've become a follower, hope you'll stop back and do the same. Feel free to grab my button while you're there.

Gorgeous. What a beautiful card and the way you've displayed it on the angel is just tooooooo cute. Very clever. Loved seeing your pic too. What a thrill to be one of your new Sisters. Hugs, Marty
I love your plaque/hanger! It has all the elements I adore, vintage lace, ribbon, book cover and that beautiful rose. Your angel is doing a fabulous job of showing it off. Really really lovely creation.
I love your sorority project! And hanging it on your sweet angel was the perfect touch.:)
Brilliant job on your project, Kimberley...it looks magnificent! And congratulations on your son's big event. Our kids are still our favourite works of art, aren't they?
