Last term, my 14 year old daughter entered a couple of reading Challenges at school. For one of them, she had to read 12 books in different, listed genres (!) She completed the task, so I treated her to a little 'vintage' shopping at the weekend and made her this for her to remember her achievement by. Proud of her? Oh yes!
The lovely lady, sentiment and the print on my torn heart are from Rogue Redhead Designs - and what marvellous stamps they are too! Lush red rubber that stamps beautifully, Yum!
They were part of a lovely gift I got a few weeks back. All of the 'torn' layers come from part of the packaging that the stamps came in (just love recyling stuff - it feels so good!)
The heart has a good splash of Glossy accents and a sprinkle of glitter.
My lady looks like she is day dreaming as well as reading and this reminded me of Fontine's song from Les Miserables. I used to be a Wardrobe Mistress in the Theatre, so adore my Musicals!

What Anita said!
No wait. I have a few words of my own!
I LOVE the heart. Love how you tore it and distressed it. Love the ripped and torn cardboard. So nice to see you recycle! That faraway, wanderlust look in the girls eye is amazing.
Congrats to your daughter and I love the way you have used the buttons- so unique and creative

Congrats to your daughter! Such a wonderful gift you created for the occasion! Fab use of the cardboard, love the added buttons! Thanks for playing along with the Bloggers Challenge!
That is most definitely an amazing accomplishment and she should be so proud! What a wonderful reward too!
I LOVE recycled items on cards and projects and I really LOVE that heart. How you textured that makes it look like a piece of wood with bark around the outsides. At least it does to me and I really, really like that! :)
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
