Bah! Humbug! Vintage Theme...

This week the theme at Bah! Humbug! was chosen by Irene, who is a great fan of the vintage look on cards and projects.  I must admit than when I first thought about this I wanted to go wild with pearls and lace and flowers, etc, but that 'going to work' element came into it and I only had time to do a fairly simple card.
I did get chance to use my Nellie Snellen die though and infact this is the shape I cut out the other day when I used the left over bit to make a frame for the stamped tree.  I really do like these dies as there is so much you can do with them. 
The paper is from one of Joanna Sheen's backing paper pads and is one of the sheets a friend gave me.  Thank you Irene.  I used part of the backing paper to created the central image.

Additional Challenges...
Have a fantastic weekend everyone and see you on Monday for The Pink Elephant challenge.
