Your Projecte for Janet's Vintage Challenge Challenge

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Well our lazy weekend never happened,  we ended up on a hurried journey to Brixham as Paul's Dad took a turn for the worse, the journey was awful with the aftermath of Eunice , sadly Paul's Dad passed away just a few minutes before we arrived. He looked very much at peace, which is better all round really. 

Let's have a look at your Vintage projects, 

Janet 

Janet has shared three amazing vintage themed cards,  all three are very different and very pretty. 

Thank you so much for choosing such a lovely Challenge Janet XXX

Karen 

Karen's Description:

Here’s my Valentines card for Alan It was really hard to photograph + I messed it up slightly too

It’s a blend of Tattered Rose Pumice Stone and Ground Espresso DO Big note to self Clean mat after using darkest colour as I kept picking up Ground Espresso when going back in with Tattered Rose

tried to correct it with blending GE all the way around AND then stupidly sprinkled with water So added Sizzix die cut hearts in dark red to cover some of the splats

The LOVE YOU dies are SueW Plus the blending and colours look so much better in real life.

Karen what an amazing card, I love the blend that you have achieved with Tattered Rose,  Ground Espresso and Pumice Stone, not 3 colours I would think of putting together but I love that blend very much!  I bet Alan loved it 🥰.  Thank you so much for supporting Janet's challenge  XXX

Sonia

Sonia created her own amazing Backing papers for this Challenge,  they are incredible, I want them to be the FOCUS of a blog post so will save them to show then.

Sonia's Description:

Card 1: I created my own collage paper, inspired by Tiffany Solorio. I used tissue paper and stamped randomly with different stamps. I also stamped on masking tape, and used a stencil. I used Speckled Egg and Iced Spruce distress inks. I coloured the back of it with old paper distress ink. The sentiment is from LOTV. I found a laser cut bird cage and inked it with iced spruce, and die cut the butterfly and coloured that too.

Card 2:  I used an Amazing Paper Grace die set and Tim Holtz butterfly die. The papers are from my stash, and the little flowers are a punch.

I distressed the edges of the papers with a distressing tool.

WOW Sonia, firstly your Collage paper is perfect,  both cards are completely different in style but fit the Challenge perfectly, I don’t think I could pick a favourite,  I love the 'arty/grungy' of the first card, the little flowers giving Feminine touches,  the second card is really pretty, I love the vintage colours you have used too.  Thank you so much for supporting Janet's challenge XXX 

Maria 

Oh Maria! your cards are amazing,  I actually really love the Vintage Chicken image, or Cockerals! This would make a lovely piece of home decor if it was framed!  Using the DO's really ties it perfectly with the Kraft card, that beautiful lace is a lovely finishing touch.

Card 2 is stunning with those beautiful vintage ladies on that beautiful background paper with its soft peachy pinks, again the lace border gives a pretty finishing touch.  Thank you so much for supporting Janet's challenge. XXX 

Sue 

Such a pretty card Sue, I have these exact same papers in my stash, I think they might be papermania /DoCrafts,  I'm sure I got mine in one of those 'Goody Bags' that they used to do.  I love the shape of your card, those perfectly matching ribbons finished with the flower spray are a beautiful finishing touch to your Vintage Challenge card.  Thank you so much for supporting Janet's challenge XXX
