Vintage flower

Posted on April 26, 2010 by Shauna

There’s an exciting challenge over at Just Add Ink.. the theme?  Vintage!  Now, I’m not really into the whole vintage look.  What I love to do is add vintage elements to a more modern card, so this was a bit of a new challenge for me, and I can’t say I’m completely convinced that the card I came up with is “vintage,” but I’m happy with it!

Maybe I stayed overly simple. Could it use a lot more ink staining?  I like simple…

I used some Inkadinkado stamps for the background (using VersaMark ink), a Martha Stewart lace punch, some vintage book paper with my flower punch.. The button with twine adds a vintage feel (I hope), as does the edging I did using some distress ink.  The sentiment’s by Hero Arts.

About Shauna

I fell in love with the art of rubber stamping when I was 12 years old. I blame my grandparents. I already had every crafty hobby imaginable when they bought me a few stamps, an ink pad, and some embossing powder. I was hooked. From that point on, no special occasion has gone unmarked by one of my hand-crafted creations. Scrapbooking came next, and though it isn't my first love, it's a close second.

    So beautiful, and I get the vintage vibe. A refreshing vintage vibe. Nice focal flower you’ve got there.
