Very Vintage Butterfly

Hi Everyone,

I am back today with another Stamping Vacation Challenge blog Design Team card. This one is for the Very Vintage challenge and this month the challenge is to use:

Newspaper

The prize is a $15.00 gift certificate for Cardmad Fairy and there will also be a $10.00 gift certificate to Scrap Attack!

Using newspaper sounds easy enough doesn't it. I also used the sketch from Crafts 4 Eternity to get me going. I changed it slightly. I omitted the square.

I had this Chinese newspaper in my stash. I think it came in a big bag of scraps I picked up at a stamping/knitting store last year. Take a look at the card and then I will explain how I made it.

This is a A2 size card. I started with a card base made from Bravo Burgundy Textured CS (Stampin' Up). I tore strips of the newspaper and distressed them with Vintage Photo distress ink (Ranger). I glued the strips of newspaper down onto the card at an angle. I added a strip of fabric and a piece of lace (I lightly added some distressing ink to the lace). I had this doily in my stash (no source). I distressed it with Vintage Photo. The Butterfly is a digi image from Cardmad Fairy. I painted it with Twinkling H2O's and went over it with Vintage Photo ink. I cut out the image and added to doily with dimensionals. The lovely sentiment is from My Sentiments Exactly! which I stamped with Bravo Burgundy ink (SU). I also added two rows of gold brads. And here are some detail shots:


And, since I decorated the inside too, I thought I would show you that.

This little butterfly is in the same set as the sentiment from My Sentiments Exactly.
