Scrap Africa - Challenge 35, Vintage theme

Hello and welcome back to my blog. 
Today I'm sharing vintage themed card.
If you'd like to join in, you have until the end of the month.
You can make a layout, a card, or OTP project
and be in with a chance to win a prize at
I combined Pion and Maja papers with some
ancient beach themed charms and  Spellbinder dies.
I fell in love with the Pion paper and bought the sheet, just for this image.
Sshhh....naughty, isn't it? 
A little self justification helps ease the conscience, 
as I used Maja scraps and old, old trinkets. 
Hope you feel inspired to play along.
