Absolutely Fabulous

Hi again!  Now, I must confess that this card is a bit on the different side of things but The Shabby Tea Room has an inspirational photo that I just couldn't quite wrap my brain around!  I know it sounds silly but I honestly had no idea what to do with that picture. 


Do I try and make it vintage, or do I make it cutesy with little creatures on it.  Hmmm...Well, I tried to go Vintage.  Let's just say it is interesting...

    You are cracking me up! I say the same things to myself when I come across stuff that really isn't my style. "what in the world and I gonna do with this"? hehe. :)

    I think it turned out fab girl. No worries.

    LOL! It's not "interesting", it's beautiful! I think you have the vintage down pat. I really like that image, and your ribbon treatment is awesome. Thanks so much for playing along with us, even when you didn't know what to do with that photo! :)
