Inkspirational #340 and Krafty Chicks # 767

Inkspirational has a seasonal challenge and since I'm behind on my Christmas card making, that's the season I went with.  Christmas also happens to be Krafty Chicks rotation this time.


Susan from Cardmaker's Garret entered this card in the Christmas Kickstart challenge and I loved the vintage feel of it so I CASEd it.  Ivory cardstock from Gina K was cut with Honey Bee's Deckle Edge die and stamped with the poinsettia from Altenew.  The flower was masked to stamp the script background from Penny Black in Antique Linen DI and the panel edged with the same ink.  The poinsettia was watercolored with Distress Inks in Barn Door, Rustic Wilderness and Fossilized Amber.  I was amazed at how well the cardstock took the watercoloring. I did try it out with a scrap in advance. 😌The sentiment is from a freebie SSS, stamped in Altenew Almond Butter.  

Thanks so much for dropping by.

Time Out Challenge #249

We're challenging you to be Vintage at Time Out this week.

 

 
I dont do a lot of vintage but this does kind of remind me of the way I used to do cards when I first started.  Lots of layers and antiquing around the roughed up edges.  The patterned paper is from Kaisercraft, the doily from CP and the 'ribbon' from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from Altenew.

What does vintage mean to you?  For inspiration please check out the Design Team cards on the blog.  The winner of this challenge willl receive a $25 store credit from Doodlebugs.
