Days gone by...



I have made this card for 3 challenges:

Stamping for the weekend http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/ the theme set there is "Days gone by.." or vintage. I have attempted to go for modern twist on elegant vintage as opposed to distressing. I have chosen these papers "papermania - a hint of pink" I Love these papers they remind me of really old fashioned wallpapers but at the same time they are really modern. The stamp is from "Le Blance" which has been stamped with "Stazon" and colour tinted with "twinkling H20's - Pink Azalea"

They layout if from Friday Sketchers http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/
I love this sketch!! and I think I will be using it a lot.

Finally the Challenge at http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/ Is Black and pink.

finishing touches... The flowers and sentiment are from "papermania - hint of pink" the hinges are from an old vintage kit I bought from QVC forever ago, and I have used "Kanban gems on the hinges. I have used tiny strips of paper and peel off lines for the lacing detail. and finally the swirls have been done using peel off dots.

  38. An interesting take on the vintage style card, yes the backing certainly does remind you of the old style wallpapers you'd fine in the fancy homes of years ago. Great image you've used too.
    Thank you for participating in the "Stampin' for the Weekend" challenge this week.. Good luck and we hope you'll continue to join in on the challenges on a weekly basis. Have a wonderful day.
