Hello stamping friends!!
I am back today to host the new ABC Christmas Challenge!
We have two sponsors this week...
We are all the way on "V" with our challenge: Vintage
I just LOVE vintage designs. I also love making them. But, I don't make vintage cards too often - not sure why?! Therefore, I had a blast making this card...
I used the new Glittering Tilda from Magnolia. The papers are the new My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Christmas. These papers were perfect for the Vintage challenge. I also used: Spruce die and Bloomy tag Doo Hickey Die from Magnolia, Resin Corner and With Keys embellishments from Melissa Frances, and Lavish Flourishes from Whimsy Stamps.
This card was inspired by two people: Camilla and Julie Stainton
I love how Camilla add all of those embellishments, the pearl dots around her magnolias, and the distressed/Vintage look. I also got the double white tree idea from this card.
I love how Julie layers her embellishments and creates little "clusters". The basic layout for my card was inspired by this card.
I also love how both of the ladies use paint on their cards. I didn't have any paint easily available so I decided to use some Liquid Applique instead.
Tilda was stamped in Stampin' Up Basic Brown ink onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os using only 4 colors (two browns and two "skin" tones)...
I love the look of the image stamped in brown - it really helps with the "vintage" feel.
I finished off the card with some stickles on the garland and randomly around the paper layers to give it a shimmer in real life.
Now it's your turn!! The challenge runs through Nov 8th.
This card is also for the following challenges:
Magnolia Mania: Vintage
Craft your Passion: Use Kraft CS
Christmas Inspirations: Diecuts or Punches (used 2 Magnolia Doo Hickey)
Crafting when we can: Christmas
Fashionable Stamping Challenge: Coffe, Cream with Dark Chocolate
Magnolia Down Under: Punches or die cuts
Paper Sundaes (being sponsored by me): Black, Flowers, Sparkle, or Distressing (only have to use two - I used Sparkle and Distressing)
The Squirrel and the Fox: One for the Girls
Sugar Creek Hollow (Vintage/Shabby Chic): Colors of Fall (I used Browns and Reds)
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!!
