Friday Verse and Beautiful Vintage Freebies

Hi, Everyone!  Beautiful Friday here, I' getting ready to go out and enjoy the beautiful summer morning,  but before I do I thought I would leave these images for you and your paper crafting!
Over at Christian Card Makers Group, it is Friday Word Fellowship day.  I leave a verse created by Karen Murray and given to Word Art Wednesday blog at no charge - stopover and you will find many, many more!

I enjoyed making this card, although it was a challenge, I just could not get the background right!

This is a vintage clip art/engraving public domain image, and I love it, except I did not like the decolletage of the neckline.  so I changed it.  Honestly, who wore dresses like that in, daytime , falling out all over the place?

  you can see where I brought the neckline up a bit and lightened the image for coloring

Colors

First set of background papers clashed - I picked those out last night and the light obviously was not good!

I tried out a few AG papers

That didn't work either.  I wanted a faded wallpaper look which I achieved more or less using a IO toile background stamp.

I added a little bling to the dress and just a tiny bit to the gauzy scarf on the hat

Here is the verse for you too!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy using this image and that you also have great contentment in your life!
