I wanted to join in with Erika on her Snappy Crafts blog where she invites us to share a craft item of any sort which was made some time ago.
I have often thought of having a go at a journal page but still never taken the plunge but I did make this card a couple of years ago with journaling in mind ...
I used a piece of card that had been used to wipe up paint from my mat. I painted the hearts and leaves but only added a little shading to the vase as I liked the mottled effect.
I scribbled round the sentiment with a gold gel pen and doodled quickly round the edge.
I've no idea what the stamp is but it's not been used since.

Love your card Barb, the pretty effect you have created on the background card looks great and sets that stamp off beautifully.
Hugs, Kaz x
I miss seeing your cards more frequently, I hope things are going well for you. This is a beautiful card with awesome doodling work. You're a magnificent artist.
Your background colours complement the stamp and your layering beautifully
Thank you for your visit to my blog,
Loving the card Barb,

Hi Barb, I missed this last night after early to bed, up for work at 5 today.
Thanks for joining me sharing an oldie the weekend, and a lovely card it is too.
Great background and doodling. The vase of hearts is super too.
Hope you are having a good weekend?
Hugs Erika. x

Hi Barb....Such a pretty card....love the image and colours....Joolsx
Great card for your oldie! So creative!
This is so simple yet cool. I love your doodled edging. I used to make doodles and faux stitches around the edge of my images quite often. That's a blast from the past. I'll bet we all have stamps like this one "not used since." So many stamps... not enough time!
Hi Barb,
what a very super Oldie for Friday.
You have made such a super job of this, and your work around the edges is fantastic.
I too have bought a book about a year ago to journal, but still haven't got round to it.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

What a pretty background Barb, and goes to show that a piece of card used to mop up ink can work really well. I love that vase of hearts which stand out beautifully in the red and the doodled frame is fabulous. x
Love that background and it work so well with the image and the sentiment.
Hugs, Lisa
Pretty background & great doodled frame!
