Lolly~gagging! Victorian theme cards



Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing some vintage cards that I have created. I have used these beautiful vintage photographs, I have also designed my own labels featuring these fabulous victorian slang words. 


Lolly-gagging:
 to fool around and waste time.

Dilly-dallying:
Dawdling or being slow to act.


For my first card I have used these lovely News paper journal pages, shabby chic borders and gold overlays. I have also added some tiny pink butterflies.






For my second card, I have used another news paper strip and adhered some yellow butterflies with centered rose pink gems. I just adore this photograph, it really does make me smile!

 The quickest filly:
A young woman who dances the quickest.









For my last card, I have used another news paper strip, mocha polka dot paper and some vintage buttons.

    Nanty narking:
A good time; having fabulous fun.

Tickety~ boo:
In good order or satisfactory condition.



I hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage cards!
