Last week Flourishes had their weekly focus and Cindy Lawrence showed us some quick ideas for adding a vintage feel to your cards on Flourishes blog. I had started my card with every intention to post it Friday, but I struggled. I am not a vintage-y style designer and I just got too flustered to figure out what was going wrong with it. So I took a look at it this weekend, and a simple change to the ribbon made all the difference in my mind, so I'll share it now!
I chose to work with Lace Edges one of Flourishes latest releases. It's so delicate and pretty and it seemed the perfect start to a vintage style card. I picked out some paper from Basic Grey's "Porcelain" line that seemed to work well with it, and that gave my my colours, so I embossed the lace edges in pink to match and added some silver pearls to finish.
I stamped the locket from Angelic Love on Flourishes Classic White card stock and coloured it with the Cool Neutrals Copic Collection. I used my Heart Nestablilites to cut out a pink heart and embossed it with my French Script embossing folder before popping it up on dimensionals and adhering the locket image.
I finished it with two different ribbons that coordinate with the colours of the card and there you be!
I am going to skip the recipe as I mentioned most of the items I used in my post. But of course, if you have any questions, please email me. I have to get to bed now as I have to get up to take dh to the airport tomorrow at the ungodly hours of 4:00am...never a good thing as I am a night hawk by nature and early mornings are in direct conflict with my inner peace (I simply hate them!!).
Have a fabulous day, and thanks for the visit!
