They always say it is good to step out of your comfort zone to become better at something. Well, I stepped out to do a vintage card for the PPA challenge ... and I like it! Below is the inspiration photo.
My inky fingers went to play and created this ...
Stamps: Bliss (sale-a-bration)
Paper: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
DSP: Elegant Soiree
Ink: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede
Accessories: sponge dauber, rhinestones, dimensionals, edge distresser, glue dots, finial press embossing folder
All products are Stampin' Up!
- The edges were sponged with Soft Suede to give it a vintage look. Ann, at The Stampin' Schach, is the Queen of vintage. Be sure to take a peek at her awesome blog.
- The butterflies were rock n' rolled. Think I'm on a butterfly kick? Three on my last card and what do you know, three on this card too.
- One of my favorite embellishments that Stampin' Up makes are the rhinestones and pearls. I absolutely love them!
I hope you will find some time to play along with us this week. I would love to see how you interpret vintage. I know I will make more cards with a vintage look ... it's fun and has an awesome look! I am pleased with the results of this card. Thanks for stopping by and I always enjoy reading what you have to say ... good, bad or indifferent.
Have a great day,
Pam~

Oh Pam this is fantastic! I love the colors and I am amazed by your layout. Too Cool!
Love how you used the stripes - great layout! And these colors are so soft and subtle - love it!
OMG...this is just beautiful, Pam. I love how you worked the corner of your frame. You've used your dp so well and made a lovely vintage card. Your butterflies are just gorgeous.
Have a fun time visiting your brother. We had a tad less than 2" of snow last night...guess you had about the same..too bad you missed it. LOL
Pam...what a fabulous layout! The rhinestones are the perfect touch! The texture is wonderful! You did a great job with the vintage challenge! And thanks for the shout out!
I love this! Fabulous design, and great colors.
Very pretty and definitely vintage! I just got the Bliss set and I can't wait to play with those butterflies!
Incredible Pam! How did you do that frame with the cropped corner? I can't tell if it's recessed, but with the shading, it's perfect!
Mike, I just tore the edges of the paper and then sponged the edges with ink. Is that what you are asking about?
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
You did a FAB job on the vintage card!
Great use of color and distressing.
Hugs, M
Holy cannolli, Pam! You absolutely ROCKED the vintage look! I really like how you used the striped paper to frame your main image and the torn/distressed corner is perfect. I am even more excited to get this set tomorrow after seeing what you did with it. Absolutely fantastic in every way! :)
