Vintage Wedding Wheels

Hi Folks,

Another Monday is upon us and it's time for another challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers.

Our hostess this fortnight is Kylie and she has chosen the theme VINTAGE LOVE.  (Your project MUST be vintage and SHOW at least one object that portrays love.

And remember your submission does not have to be a card.

That being said - I've gone for a card! ...

I used Stampin' Up Wedding Wheels and En Francais Stamps and the sentiment is Kaisercraft. Dies I used are Stampin' Up Top Note and Framelits and  Spellbinders oval and fancy tag.  My finishing touches were some white seam binding and a couple of pearls.

Our sponsors this challenge are Di's Digi downloads who have donated a $10 gift voucher

 and
Hobby Art who have donated two love themed stamps.

    

Hope you can join us for this challenge, pop on over to the blog for some great inspiration.

Wishing you all a great week.

Take care

Paris Tag

Hi everyone,

I've got a tag for you today.  It's for this week's Out of a Hat Creations Challenge which this week is "LACE", and it also fits -

Simon Says Stamp and Show - "ANYTHING GOES", and
Fashionable Stamping Challenges - Cities of the World  (thanks Silvia)

I started by clear embossing a large Hero Arts lace stamp, then inked with Victorian Velvet and Aged Mahogany.  The tag then just evolved from there, using stuff that I already had lying on my desk ....

The little 'Amour' origami book was made for me by my daughter, the Eiffel Tower is Stampin Up and the lady image is from The Graphics Fairy.

My daughter is off to Paris on a school trip in a couple of weeks, so maybe that's what I had it mind when I put this tag together.  Wish I was going too as I've never been, although it's a very long bus journey from the North of Scotland.  She's a very fussy eater too, think she'll be surviving on a diet of french fries and croissants!

Oh well, that's me for today, enjoy the rest of your week ladies.

Vintage Twinchies

Hi everyone,

I got a lovely little package in the post today - six vintage "twinchies" from the Gingersnap Art Exchange.

These are from Valerie, Petra, Alexa, Laura, Annette and Kerry.

Thank you so much ladies and thanks Laura for organising the swap.











These are the ones I made - my first go at making twinchies ...

I made a background using Trisha's Serendipity technique (another first for me).


I collaged some paper scraps, painted over with gold acrylic paint then overstamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia using Stampin Up's Vintage roller.

Images in the bottle caps are from The Graphic's Fairy.

Thanks for popping in, hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Vintage Men

Hi all,

(Sorry, two posts in one day but I have to squeeze in a last minute entry for the Fashionable Stamping challenge.)

Over at Just For Fun, this week the challenge is "Vintage Men", and over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges it's "Make it a Guy Thing", so I've made a card ...

Penny Farthing and sentiment stamps inked in Versamagic Night Sky, stamped onto kraft card and matted onto DP.





I also made a Motown tag (love Motown and soul music) for Just for Fun, however I felt this was a bit of a cop out as it only just scrapes by as vintage and is really only a bit of inking and a bit of "cutting and pasting" ..

Thanks for coming to visit, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
