It’s Thursday already… And I am thankful and hopeful of what is yet to come. I am believing that everything will be alright. I just feel the need to pray and be thankful today.
I have a lovely vintage card to share with you. Here it is:
Materials
Sweet ‘n Sassy stamps – Vintage Postcard
Penny Black stamps – Flower Gallery
Docrafts Papermania stamps – Happy Days (Ticket Stubs)
Prima Marketing stamps – Mini Background Polka Dot
Hero Arts Cleardesign Block – Large Letter
Brilliance pigment ink – Tiramisu
Colorbox pigment ink – Pink
Ranger:– Embossing ink
– Distress ink in Old Paper, Spun Sugar, Vintage Photo
– Blending tool
Inkadinkado embossing powder – Glam Gold, Copper, Pearlescent
Spectrum Noir markers – PP5, PP3
Shery K. Designs paper:
– Antoinnette (vintage handwriting)
– Alia
Merletto crystals
Bazic two sided tape & mounting tape
Other generic materials:
Specialty metallic cardstock in pink
Linen cardstock in white
Textured cardstock in pale pink
1″ gross grain ribbon in sand
Ivory fused string pearl beads
The main decoration on this card is actually the tag that I made from scratch. It measures 5.5″ x 3″. I stamped background images with pigment ink in pearlescent beige and pink, and when I distressed the tag, those images blurred a bit adding more to that vintage look. The flowers where heat embossed and then colored with Spectrum Noir markers. The post card and ticket stamps were also heat embossed, because I wanted it to stand out. The lovely vintage ticket stamp was actually part of a very large 6″ x 6″ background stamp, that I cut as a single. And to finish this tag I punched a heart instead of the regular eyelet and embellished it with fused string pearl beads and crystals.
The base of this card consists of two half layers, patterned paper on one side and metallic paper on the other. I distressed both their edges manually. Finally, I couldn’t resist adding ribbon to completely finish the aged look.
I absolutely love vintage cards. I hope you like it as much as I do. Have a good weekend and stay creative.
