Colour Inkspiration 29: A Vintage Color Combination
Welcome to Colour Inkspiration Challenge #29! The crew would like to kick off this challenge with a blog hop. Join in the challenge over the next 2 weeks and share your lovely creations, too!
Our colours this time are Blushing Bride, Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, and Chocolate Chip:
Well, this combination and the photo certainly lend itself to vintage, and my scrapbookers LOVE a vintage layout, so that’s what I’ve created for you today:
Okay so I am totally in love with the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set (SaleABration free gift). Not only does it make a good focal point, but it makes a wonderful background print as well. This reminds me of old wallpaper or the screen in the background of the photo.
It’s been a long time since I pulled out the old favorite, Chocolate Chip. It’s a really nice brown with a bit of red to it. Accents here are Copper Embossing Powder, Pearls coloured in with the Bronze Stampin’ Blend, and Copper Metallic Thread.
Faux Patina is a technique I come back to again and again. It’s a really easy and neat way to create a printed paper to suit any colour scheme with a vintage feel. I just love doing this in a class and seeing so many different outcomes, too. Here I’ve used the four ink colours plus Copper Embossing Powder.
Thanks for stopping by! Next stop: Jackie Noble!

Your page is a thing of beauty!!!
Wow, that is a beautiful scrapbook page and of course the subject image is beautiful too! I have never heard of faux patina before, guess that is just making something look old that is not. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I Love that stamp as a background jacque- it was one of the first details I noticed. Your layering of all the elements is so sweet. I’ll have to try Faux Patina as a class!
I love the vintage style of your page, and the background stamping with the Heartfelt Blooms is awesome! Thank you for the amazing inspiration.
So wonderfully stunning! Every little detail is perfect and sets off the photo so beautifully.
