A few challenges ...

I've managed to combine 5 challenges for this card!!

• Stamp with fun - sketch
• Papertake Weekly Challenge - favourite challenge - favouritet things
• Pollycraft challenge - favourite things
• Stampin for the Weekend - Days gone by (vintage)
• Allsorts - English Country Garden

I watercolured my image and cut her and the matt out using my deckled nesties. I distressed the image in antique linen and vintage photo, and all the dp is distressed in the same inks. I used 1 design paper and 1 piece of co-ordinating cardstock. The flowers are punched out of the same papers and the lace dunked in tea to take the whiteness away. Pearls (very vintage!!) finish the flowers off.
So my favourite things ...
distress inks, distressing, punches, pretty papers, flowers ...
the list could go on LOL!!!
