Hi Friends!!
It’s time for The Card Concept #67 “Vintage” Challenge! I
love the vintage elements in our inspiration photo- the heart, metal tin,
script background, browns as well as the gold!
I decided to incorporate
the Happy Little Stampers February 2017 Mixed Media Challenge “Tear/Rip” into the design.
I hope you will find
the time to check out the wonderful Design Team cards at The Card Concept as
well as the HLS challenge gallery- gorgeous inspiration from all!
To create this card:
1). Ink the retired Stampin’
Up! French Script background stamp using TH Ground Espresso Distress Ink, stamp
onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, distress the edges with a distressing tool
and apply TH Vintage Photo Distress Ink with
a sponge dauber over the edges.
2). De-static a piece
of Crumb Cake cardstock with an Embossing Buddy®, stamp the retired Stampin’
Up! Friendship’s Journey image with Versamark™ Ink onto the prepared cardstock,
apply Stampin’ Emboss® Early Espresso
Embossing Powder and heat set with the heat tool. Once the embossing has cooled, water color
with TH Brushed Cordoruy, Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo Distress Inks and
apply TH Tarnished Brass Distress Stain to the heart, locket, flowers and other
areas.
3). Hand tear around
the entire panel, sponge additional TH Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the
edges and mount onto the distressed script panel.
4). Mount the entire
panel onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock, distress the edges with a
distressing tool before mounting onto the white card base.
5). De-static a piece
of Early Espresso cardstock, stamp the sentiment from Friendship’s Journey with
Versamark™ Ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with
a heat tool. Trim the panel and mount
onto the card front with dimensional foam.
6). Use an Extra Fine
White Sharpie® Paint Pen to add white highlights to the flowers and finish off
the card with a few pearls.
