Violet Vintage

 I hang my head in shame and confess to haiving owned this digi for AGES and only just got round to colouring her up :(  Anyways, she is coloured using my pens, and the dp is by First Edition, which has been liberally distressed using my trusty TH distressing tool.  I love my dies, and now I have got my storage sorted for them, I am using them lots more.  This corner is fab!! And I just added a couple of teeny pearls to it.   The flowers are from the MB Cherry Blossom set, I just used the biggest, and then added vintage buttons with twine through them to their cetres.  Finally a bit of lace and a few more pearls - quite vintage all in all I think!
