Shells, frames and vintage

I have a couple of vintage shares together, both of them using frames.


I rediscovered a Penny Black stamp I had and just used the frame for the image. First I decorated it with shells (from a Hero Arts stamp) which I still had, cut out and waiting for use still from my holiday in Spain. I used to get up early every morning and wait until late before DH and the boys got up - so after my prayer time I started stamping butterflies and shells and cutting them out for later use. Now it is 7 months later and I am still using the shells.


These background papers are from the Graphic's Fairy. I colored in the little flowers with watercolor pencils.
Still nursing a sick David, he is very poorly this time round.
