Inky Vintage...

Continuing with the Vintage Challenge on Scrapology, I also made the following card.

I don't do inky so this is not the usual thing I make but as Hels is a Ranger Educator I decided to get out my Tim Holtz bits and play!

The base card is a 6x6 black linen effect. I inked an old page from a book through a stencil (although you can't really see it!) then scrunched and stuck randomly on the page.

The tag is just a postal one which I have inked with Distress Inks then stamped with a set of Tim Holtz stamps which came as part of a kit.

I then stapled some lacey bits on and coated it with distress crackle paint in clear.

The bird is a punch from Stampin' Up which I also inked and added some detail with a black pen.

I stapled some more of the lace down one edge and added a message on a punched oval - also inked.

I added some raffia to tie the tag and twist down one side along with a paper rose.

Check out the challenge on the Scrapology Blog  :)

Scrapology June Challenge - Vintage

This months challenge was set by Hels Sheridan and the theme is Vintage.

I decided to use a sheet of decoupage I have by Walter Crane which I felt was perfect.

I layered the decoupage onto the backing sheet supplied and added gold mirri card.

The corners were cut with a Memory Box die.

The message again layered and added on 3d foam.

A small knot of seam binding added too.

Here you can see the layers of decoupage, I use 3d foam pads usually.

Hop on over to Scrapology to see what the DT have come up with this month and the fab prize Hels has supplied.
