Eleanor Praying in Monotones

It is coming up to my Mother In laws birthday and she will be the ripe young age of 80 so I need to get my thinking cap on for a card for her and I thought I’d start with this one.

It’s not just Eleanor that's praying because I’m doing some praying of my own that I’m as good as my Mother In Law when I hit 80 years of age.

Eleanor Praying by Just Inklined is such a gorgeous image that I think she may just be what I need.

Coloured with Copic Markers and blended with Pan Pastels.

I added a touch of elegance with a real silk swatch of material and lace and ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and a gorgeous button from Dainty Paperie

Do you think this will do the trick?

    The vintage look of this card is very appealing. And the embellishments accent it so nicely.

    This will definitely do the trick Jak. This is beautiful & just love that added touch of silk fabric instead of paper x
