Creating a Vintage Style Card

For today’s blog I have been creating a vintage style card with the Heart & Home Designer Series paper and the Blessings Of Home stamp set.

This monthly technique Blog Hop is a collaboration of Demonstrators who are part of the Crafty Collaborations group. As you hop around you will find lots of inspiration for vintage projects.

Creating a Vintage Style Card

There are so many techniques you can use to give a project a vintage look. Of course the choice of colours and papers influences the overall look of any project. The Heart & Home Designer Series Papers have a very vintage feel. In order to rough the edges on the Cinnamon Cider coloured mat I ran a pair of scissors along each side. The strip of Designer Series Paper across the middle was torn across the top and bottom. Additionally the torn edges were then inked with Blending Brushes and Cinnamon Cider ink to give it an aged look.

I cut two pieces of the Gold Fine Art ribbon and frayed the ends by pulling a thread. One end will always fray easier , which is why I cut two shorter pieces. These were stuck on the card front under one of the Heart & Home doilies. The flowers were stamped onto one of the woodgrain papers from the pack and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends. A second flower was stamped and coloured and then some of these flowers were added on the top of the first with dimensionals for a decoupage effect.

The sentiment was cut into pieces and was added to the front with gold pearls and a linen bow.
