ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing Nicola ... as always. I love the layered elements in the wheelbarrow. The hitch fastener is wonderful for the center of the wheel. What a great additional touch to add the punched border on that lovely lavender paper. I adore this stunning vintage card!!! -- Mary Elizabeth

Oh, I love this spray of flowers bursting outside this beautiful wheelbarrow resting on this light kind of straw. It's so delicate and

Oh how beautiful Nicola, vintage at its very best... those Pion papers are so lovely and I love the wheelbarrow full of beautiful flowers, the tall ones remind me of Lavender. I love how you transformed the wheat to make it look like Lavender and the hitch fastener is perfect in the centre of the wheel. A truly stunning card!! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteNicola...this card is gorgeous!! Your altered wheat into lavender is such a clever idea and really perfect for this card. The papers are divine and that white shabby wheelbarrow is so lovely packed full of flowers. I love the wheel!! Again, so clever to use Tim's Ideaology pieces. You create SUCH beautiful vintage designs!

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card I lurve scrapiniec & even brought 2 of these wheelbarrows. Love the gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us over at Noor Design UK, good luck hun.

The wheelbarrow looks lovely with all those leaves and flowers added to it. A wonderful vintage design in my favorite color, purple.
ReplyDeleteOh Nicola this is just SO clever! I'm transported to a Provence village surrounded by lavender fields and crumbling limestone cottages. The vintage touches like the watch, the lace and the aged wheelbarrow give this so much charm. Thank you for joining us at Frilly and Funkie xx
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous. Your little lavender cart is so pretty and I love the dimension of the flowers in it and all the other gorgeous embellishments.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing in our Monochrome challenge.

Oh, I'm in love, I'm in love. This is simply gorgeous, Nicola. I've got a couple of those wheelbarrows from Scrapiniec, but more because I couldn't resist them than that I had any ideas for how to use them. The weathered look you've given yours is just perfect, and such a pretty colour too to work with the lavender. The lavender itself, both in the barrow and adorning the card, is pure perfection. And it must smell lovely too! Glorious!
