Another post today! And it is a holiday weekend. So, we are just relaxing around the house today. Nice time to get my posting done. I have a very vintagey card today. I was inspired by The Play Date Cafe colors.
And a picture from Diva Stampers. The two inspiration images may seem different but they both have a distressed feel and similar colors. The top picture is more earthy and the bottom picture adds a bit of aqua to the same type of colors. So you will see that I added a bit of aqua to my card while also using the mocha, rust and orange.
I die cut a frame using a Sizzix die and layered with lots of papers from SEI and K &Company. The card base is made of Really Rust CS from Stampin' Up. I distressed each piece as I layered and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I added some lace, lots of pearls and a dreamy sentiment.
Materials:
Stamps: Bird - Memory Box; Sentiment - Inkadinkado
Inks: Chocolate Chip -SU; Stazon black; Vintage Photo- Ranger
Shimmer Mist
And some detail shots so you can see all the challenge elements.
I entered this card in the following super fun Challenges:
Diva Stamper: Photo
The Play Date Cafe: Color combo
Simon Says Stamp: Lace and pearls
My Partner in Crafting Crime: Vintage
