You're Vintage

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for your comments and emails yesterday - much appreciated. Here's quite a simple card from the shows yesterday.

I started with the background. I inked up one side of the Creative Expressions Brick Embossing Folder with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I placed a piece of Milk Card on the clean side of the folder, closed the folder and then used a brayer over the top to transfer the ink. I then added some Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. Next I ran the background through the Grand Calibur with the Retro Squares Mask, I tore around the edges and then inked all over with Vintage Photo using Cut n Dry Foam. I splatted some Vintage Photo Distress Stain and dired with my heat tool. The splats seemed to settle behind the embossing powder even though they were added afterwards. Cool, eh?

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Vintage Cars Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using some Vintage Photo Distress Ink that I smeared on my craft sheet, added water to and used a paint brush.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using the coffee archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it up into sections, edged it with a little Vintage Photo and added it to the background.

I added a Key Charm to the top left hand corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Choco Brown around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
