All Things Vintage

Late Night Stampers is having an All Things Vintage challenge this week.  So I decided to play along.   Not sure whether it meets the criteria or not but here it is.

I started off with a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock.  I used A Rose is a Rose stampset to create the roses in the bottom left hand corner.  I used Pale Plum and Perfect Plum ink, stamping off twice as well as Mellow Moss ink for the leaves, also stamping off twice.  I masked the roses and then used Close to Cocoa ink and the En Francais background stamp, again stamping off once and finger walking to get the impression.  Then I used the beautiful Baroque Motif large swirl and stamped using Mellow Moss ink, stamping off twice.  I also stamped a few of the small flowers from Baroque Motifs using Mellow Moss, again stamping off twice.  While the masks were still in place I sponged the edges of the card with Mellow Moss ink, sponging very lightly across the whole card as well.  I then used Close to Cocoa ink to sponge on the very edges.  I removed the masks and lightly sponged some Mellow Moss ink over the roses, just to take the starkness away.  I attached this piece to a Pale Plum folded card.  I stamped “love you” from the Short and Sweet stampset on Very Vanilla card punching out the the Large Oval, again sponging with Mellow Moss and Close to Cocoa.  I punched out a Scallop Oval from Pale Plum and attached the ovals to the card using dimensionals.

I am not sure that it is vintage but I love the way it turned out.     My hubby may just get a Valentine card after all.

Bye for now,  Kris.
