Layered Vintage Card :)

January 30, 2015 ~ Sathya ~ 5 Comments

DT inspiration card for Cardabilities here! Very fond of inks these days and tried to create layered vintage bg for this card.

Here we go,

Sketch for this challenge

Watercolor cs is taken and built the layers from scratch, using various DIs – Aged Mahogany, Scattered straw, Vintage Photo. Adequately misting and drying every layer before adding each layer of inks. Then the edges are roughed and rolled at diagonal corners of the card.

Heidi Swapp Script stamp (new in my stash) is randomly stamped, and its shown vaguely at few places only as its been lost in misting and ink layerings.

Took heart diecuts in Red CS and distressed its edges in black soot DI. The CLD medium rose diecuts are distressed with aged mahogany and pearl centered. And Spellbinders foliage leave diecuts are distressed with evergreen bough and aged mahogany, misted and shaped.

Diagonally, Kaisercraft Heisian stamp(new in my stash) is stamped using Vintage photo DI for the extra textured look for the card.

Sentiment is from IBS Everyday Sentiment stampset which is selectively stamped using Ranger Archival ink and the banner edges are distressed using Vintage Photo DI. And random splashes of Black soot inks as the finishing touch!

This front panel is then matted in a black CS which is then on a white base CS.Few black rhinestones are added as accents on heart diecut.

Hope you like the overall look of the card!

Supplies:

CS- Fabriano CS
Inks- DIs- Vintage photo, Aged Mahogany,Scattered straw, Black soot, Evergreen bough
Stamp – heidi Swap script stamp, IBS everyday greetings, Kaisercraft Heisian stamp
Dies – CLD medium rose, Spellbinders foliage die, Itsy Bitsy heart thinlits

Hey Hi!

A quick post today as my son gone for a dance practice for tomorrow’s Tiny Tot’s Day in school, had ample 6 hours to finish a DT post and this card today 🙂

This card is much inspired by very many things…

First the quote which comes in IBS Butterfly wings stamp set, which was a challenge win at IBS 🙂
Love the stamp set for the different butterflies and for the quotes.

Second which caught my eye …was this Inspiration pic which is my screensaver in my lappy for a long time.

And last…those sunset colors and the images of it.

I wanted to try those colors and wanted to make a card and so this dare attempt from my end,
Now…you should say…how it looks?

Took a 5×5 white CS and started building the colors from scattered straw, rusty hinge, aged mahogany, vintage photo and black soot DIs. I enjoyed the process being so inky 🙂

I stamped those wild flowers, grasses and wheat stalk from Meadows stampset and the stamped the sentiment in versamark and white heat embossed.

And stamped the butterfly near the wheat stalk and just drawn the legs alone, as if its grabbing it.

Hope you like it! Do leave comments, as it means a lot to me 🙂
