Post 287: Simple Vintage Love Themed Card

Hi folks!

I'm sharing a Simple Vintage Love Themed Card today. This was made for a Guest Design post for stencils. All the details can be found here. For this card, I wanted to try out a different look so I used a book page from an old romantic novel. Tore its edges and pasted it onto a mat of black cardstock whose edges were torn as well. Sponged on Broken China Distress Oxide and Peacock Feathers & Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink through the CrafTreat Layered Stencil – Feathers (NBUS). Stamped the sentiment "Quill you be mine" using the NBUS stamp bought on clearance a while back Taylored Expressions Cling Stamp- Punny Love. Then this panel was distressed with Vintage Photo and Black Soot Distress Ink and crumpled a few times to get a really worn out look. Further, this panel was adhered to the card base with 3d foam tape and a wooden heart button and a black twine bow was added as an embellishment.

Here is a photo of the card:

Thanks for your time!

Stay Blessed. 

Post 285: Christmas Card (Let it Snow)

Hi Folks!

I'm sharing a Christmas Card today. This was made for a Guest Design post for stencils. All the details can be found here. For this card, I sponged on the Christmas tree design from the stencil using Emerald Green Archival Ink. I used archival Ink because I knew I was going to spray water over top of the design and archival inks are permanent once dry. Then I sprayed on 3 colors of Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays (Blingy Blonde, Drop Dead Gorgeous Green and Sassy Sapphire) and sprayed on some water to make them mix. Once this was dry it looked shimmery and green. Then I stamped the snowflakes and sentiment using the Uniko Stunning Snowflakes Stamp. In the end, I added sparkle with silver stickles by creating tiny dots and a hand drawn border around the foam mounted panel.

Here is a photo of the card:

September Rudolph Days Challenge
NBUS Challenge #12 (used the new Uniko Stamp for this card)
