I have created a very simple yet versatile vintage style card today that could be used for weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays or just for saying I'm thinking of you :) Come and see ..
My base card is the gorgeous new Baked Brown Sugar (love that name!) and the overlay is very vanilla card (106550 £7.50 for 40 sheets) . The stamp is from the Summer Silhouettes (w 132082 £21.95, c 126447 £17.95) and I've used versamark to stamp with it then covered in gold stampin embossing powder (109219) and set with the heat tool (129054 £25.95) to give a lovely gold embossed finish.
To make the embossing appear more aged it isn't perfectly set - gives it more of a distressed, vintage feel which is of course the purpose of my blog!
The sentiment is from the fabulous Bring on the Cake stamp set (w 128490 £34.95, c 121958 £27.95) which is full of versatile & useful greetings that can be used for a variety of occasions - my favourite kind of stamp set!
There are a few wedding/anniversary challenges online this week so am entering into C.R.A.F.T #214 - wedding/anniversary, one stop craft #233 - anything goes, allsorts #214 favourite things (my bring on the cake stamp set!), Fashionista #17 wk 3 - wedding, craft room challenge - vintage stamping.
