Hello to all.  Sharing a sweet vintage style card featuring 'Winifred' from Mo Manning. 

 I really love this stamp and have coloured her with a mixture of pencils from my tin and Distress Ink background. I was lucky enough to have won blog candy from Cathy - This Crafty Mummy, and have used the prize (Time to Sparkle dies) to decorate the card. Many thanks to Cathy!

Materials list:
