Post 447: Set of 2 Grungy Vintage Cards

Hi friends!

I'd like to share Two Grungy Vintage Cards. This was part of my DT work for Bob n Betty. All the details are here. I used Tim Holtz Paper dolls, Bob n Betty's Classics Decoupage Specialty Papers, Creative Embellishment Chippies- Butterflies set of 5 & distressed grid Stencil, Finnabair Mediums and 49 & Market and Mudra Stamps here. 

Here are a few photos of the cards:


Card 1: Finders Keepers



Card 2: Shine Brightly



Process:

1. Cut one of the papers from the Classics Collection of Decoupage Specialty Papers, distressed the edges, darkened them with Vintage Photo distress ink and created mats for these panels
2. Did background stamping with archival inks and background stenciling with heavy white gesso (any type of texture paste will do)
3. Created a grungy look by adding color with sprays and created drips and splatter
4. For the focal elements, used Tim Holtz Paper dolls. Layered washi tape, thread, gauze, chipboards and gems and added some blue color as well. For the sentiments, used Tim Holtz metallic stickers
5. Adhered the panels to the mats and mounted these on the large sized card bases. To create dimension between the paper layers, used 3d foam tape

I am playing along with the following challenges:

2018 Paper Dolls- Topic 10 @PaperArtsy (used Tim Holtz Paper Dolls here)

A Vintage Journey June Challenge- Stencil it (used 1 stencil here)

Country View Challenges- June 2018- The written word (the decoupage paper making up the main panel has text all over it and I added text stamping as well)

Creative Embellishments June Challenge (I was inspired by the vintage photo and colors & used Creative Embellishment Chippies- Butterflies set of 5 & distressed grid Stencil )



Thanks a lot for your precious time :)
Stay Blessed!
