What the Dickens...??

This is for my sister, Lynn's, birthday on 10th december. (I'm almost certain she doesn't read my blog, so I'm safe showing it now!)

This is revisiting my lovely Personal Impressions stamp from the Beryl Peters Collection that I absolutely adore, and I threatened to use often.. the Victorian Street. Some time before acquiring the stamp, I saw a wonderful image on one of my favourite freebie blogs... ART FREEBIES (June offers some fantastic stuff on there, folks!)... which I thought would go perfectly! Printed in greyscale.. They're such a Dickensian-looking bunch, don't you think?

Fantastic Chris. Absolutely love the Dickensian theme, and the Victorian street stamp. I lived in Rochester for about 4 years and loved it there. It is actually still quite quaint, but I haven't visited the new Dickens museum.
I'm sure your sister will love it,
Love Sarita xx

Hi Chris

A gorgeous card - I am sure your Sister will love it!

Fantastic background to your image and sentiment (I think I recognise that font LOL!!).

You know I have been so busy drooling over your cards I have never noticed the links to free images etc down the side of your blog. I feel a good old visiting session coming on!!

Thanks for sharing all of these lovely goodies and for the inspiration.

Love Jules xx
