It's been way too long since I was able to participate in a creative challenge, so it was fun to take part in this one! I used it, actually, to make a scrapbooking layout, which I will post on Friday. But the inspiration was this card and the Just Add Ink Vintage Challenge this week.
I taught this card in class a few weeks ago, and it's a perfect Mother's Day card. How appropriate to say thank you to our mothers. (I suppose I better get mine in the post today!)
Inspired by a card I saw online, I adapted to fit the supplies we have here in NZ. The background is enbossed with our NEW Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I bought out the dots with a bit of ink – a very cool look if you love antique like I do.
Of course the images are from the ever-popular and oh-so-yummy Vintage Vogue stamp set. The centre of the large flower is the 5/8 inch brad – yes they are still available for purchase. (If you have not seen the carry over – write-in products- flyer, email me or ask your demonstrator). These babies are just perfect for the centre of this flower.
The centres of the smaller flowers – take a guess! All correct answers will be sent a little treat via email. use the comments section below.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Vintage Vogue set of eight $48.95 wood mount, $38.95 clear mount, Tiny Tags set of seventeen $45.95 wood, $36.95 clear
Colours: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Creamy Caramel
Other: Medium Jewelry Tag Punch, 5/8 Neutrals brads, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Distressing Tool, Linen Thread, 7/8 Chocolate Chip Stitched Ribbon, 1/16 hole punch, Crop-a-Dile
The card is gorgeous. I love how you added the colour to the embossing folder dots, I will have to try that. I am thinking you used the crop-a-dile punch out bits to put centres in the smaller flowers.
Love the ink on the dots, the colour scheme and layout. Beautiful card. Thanks for joining in the Just Add Vintage Challenge.
Hi Jacque, This is a beautiful set isn’t it. I am certainly making lots with it. I love the layout you have used for this card and the inking around the edge of each flower – truely gives it the vintage look. Chantell x x
