I Spy With My Little Eye......... Vintage Vibes (Challenge No. 27)

Hello everyone and welcome to the 27th edition of "I spy with my little eye" challenge taking place right here on my blog! Pauline and I are back with a new theme and some inspiration for you, and we hope you will join us this month too! Also remember to scroll down to see who made the Top 2 in the last challenge, both invited to join us for our next challenge as guest designers.

It's Pauline's turn to select a theme and she selected:

I Spy With My Little Eye..........

Vintage Vibes.

Lots of ways to make it a little bit vintage, could be as simple as distressed edges, maybe add some lace for a victorian feel or use vintage-y colors. And of course there is an abundance of vintage style products available too so we hope you will get a chance to share with us! 

And here is what we made to inspire you.

I recently received an order from Tracy Evans Boutique Designs and decided to ink up my new goodies. I used TE042 Bloom and Grow for the focal point stamped twice to form an oval. Next I used the text stamp from the set TE043 Magnolia and decided to add some crackle stamping on two of the corners. This was done using an old Tim Holtz stamp. I thought it needed something else so I used parts of TE009 Take Flight stamped in black. The sentiment is from the set TE039 Poppy Edges were distressed and inked using the same ink I used for coloring the flowers and for background stamping. I matted this onto black cardstock and then a white card base. For inks I used Victorian Velvet Distress ink as well as Versafine Onyx ink. I finished off the card with some stickles glitter in the flower centers. 

I plan to share with these challenges:

• Beautiful Blossoms - Flowers
• Creations in Pink - Use Mostly Pink
• Sparkles Forum Challenges - Flowers
• Triple B - Blooms, Birds or Butterflies
• We Love Stamping - Nature 
• We Love 2 Create - Anything Creative
