I wonder if that's how Torvill and Dean looked when they were first starting out?? The rubber stamp is an October Afternoon one and I have coloured it with Copics adding some True Snow and glitter to the snow. It has been cut and matted with SB Nesties. The papers are all October Afternoon - love their papers! I have used an MFT Notebook Edge die for the border. The sentiment is Pink Petticoat and I have used a Woodware Punch to punch the tag shape out. The ribbon is Martha Stewart which I got in Florida from Michaels and the charm and pearls are from my stash. I have followed this week's sketch over at Sketch Saturday - I have moved the sentiment hope that is ok!!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch

Don't know if it has the fifties feel..lol..can't remember that far back he! he!{only joking...that's before you say anything!}
Aww what a sweet card Susan… I love the cute image and your colouring is fab! the papers and embellies are gorgeous and the whole card definitely has a wonderful fifties feel to it… I love it!
Ooh that IS so expensive for postage Susan!! the postage prices have now got ridiculous… I was buying envelopes from Post Office to fit my cards in for posting… and they were blooming £2.30 each!!! so I had a look on good old Amazon and managed to get 100 envelopes for £10!! they are perfect size too so I'm well chuffed! :-)) think how much I've saved!! LOL
Hope you're having a good day!
Big hugs
Sue xx

I posted two hand made cards to the US yesterday - cost me almost £6!!! I'd just put them both in a 7" suqare box which was about 2" deep - no weight in them at all.... Didn't realise Dick Turpin was still alive and well and in disguise as the Royal Mail...
Enough moaning from me... this is a great winter scene and a fab card!
Such a delightful vintage card! Lovely images and super pretty papers. It's great to see you playing along with us at Sketch Saturday. Thanks for joining in. Hugs, Lesley
Beautiful vintage card Susan... Love that image so sweet.. Great colours... I agree with the postage shocking price... I got caught last year sending gifts to Canada... £38.00 I paid... So this year I have shopped at AmAzon CA... Have a good weekend... Hugs May x x x
