vintage + dimensional sticker

Over at 365cards was the challenge vintage + dimensional sticker. I popped my scalloped circle up on pop dots. I also shimmered the Mr. and Mrs. with silver shimmer spritz.

vintage + distressing

This is for day 269 over at 365cards. If I can be frank for the moment. I am finding this vintage to be HARD. Wow! This is quite challenging for me. I just don't seem to be getting it right in my opinion. Can't seem to place all the necessary stuff in the right places. Maybe I'm just not adding enought "stuff", I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I guess just keep trudging through.

vintage + stamp

Over at 365cards the challenge is vintage style card + use a stamp. I completed a simple little thing with a simple little sentiment. Just a little note to say, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Well today over at 365cards is a challenge for vintage + stickpin. Well if you happen to have read my earlier post that was yesterdays challenge, you would know that I don't have vintage stuff floating around my office/craft room. Well when I got out of class this morning, I (shhhhhh, shhhhhh) went shopping! I did get a few sheets of paper that I would classify in this category. I also got the cute little tickets, and the sheer shimmer spritz. Oh, I fell in love

(which is not entirely unusual in Hobby Lobby)! I never used the spritz before, I think I may have went a little overboard. Live and Learn. I did, however, already have the pens and flowers, and filmstrip that you can make out on either side of my flower group. Vintage wasn't my style, but with a few added items it's not bad at all.

Over at 365cards was a sketch challenge.

Here is my submission.

Wow! The sketch didn't say it had to be vintage, but I wanted to try it. This was a considerable challenge since that is normally not my style and I do NOT have anything vintage style! So after a few tries this is what I finally came up with. The paper is the same sheet, patterned one side, solid on the other. I grabbed some lace and grungeboard (the key and the green and black thing behind the flowers. Painted the "leaves" green with scrapbooking colors and inked w/ some black to make is look antiqued. The key I inked up with versamark and embossed with bronze embossing powder, put some black on it also. The keyhole I drew on and embossed the same as the key, and drew the hole on top of the embossed area.

some cards not posted yet.

The following card was a thanks card for a friend of my family, my children mostly, they ended up with quite a close relationship. The stamp is a digi from Dustin Pike. The 2 leaves are actually stickers that i thought added a little more to the card. I also added some ribbon with 2 leaf brads.

This ladybug card was for my niece who turned 1. I stamped and embossed the ladybugs, colored the wings with copic marker and added a computer generated message and some ribbon on 2 corners.

Cherish was a simple card for a wedding that we went to in the early fall. The top is patterned paper that simply did the trick in my book. I added 3 rhinestones in 2 of the corners. Took a ribbon and dragged out my sewing machine! I think the yellow thread gave the card just enough color. The stamp cherish I embossed with black sparkle embossing powder.
