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:
