It's Saturday and you know what that means ... it is time for another Create with Connie and Julie Challenge! For this weeks challenge my very talented partner, Connie Babbert, designed a wonderful sketch for us to play with. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
This week on the site we are featuring the Vintage Vogue stamp set. I absolutely adore this set and I love the card that I created with this sketch! I know, it's probably in poor taste to talk about how much you love a card that you made, but I really do love this card! LOL
I decided to pair the Vintage Vogue stamp set with the Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper. I think they go together wonderfully!I started out by stamping the the F and two of the flowers on Kraft card stock using Not Quite Navy Classic Ink. I used some Creamy Caramel Classic Ink and sponged around the edges of the F and the flowers. I also sponged around the edges of all the Bella Bleu Designer Series paper. I think the sponging really helped to give the card that vintage look.
I curled up the edges of the flower petals, to do this I used the end of the Paper Piercing tool and just rolled the petals around that. I finished off the flower with a yummy Kraft Corduroy Brad.
I added lots of paper piercing to the card. I always think the paper piercing takes a card up a notch or two. It gives it that finished look. I then added some Vintage Brads and some Kraft Taffeta ribbon.
On the inside I added another flower, some Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper and some Kraft Taffeta Ribbon. Doesn't the stamped image on the inside of the card work just perfectly?
