I am excited to be a Guest Designer at "Getting Cricky with K Andrew" for their Simply Sunday challenge! This week the challenge is to make a "Vintage" project.
I love creating for challenges as they make you create 'outside your box'. And this weeks challenge sure did that! Vintage seems to be the 'in' thnig right now for scrapbooking and card making, but I haven't made anything like this before. My style tends to be brighter and cutesy.
My teen daughter loves the shabby-chic and vintage style, so she helped me to pick out the elements for this card.
Here is our card:
Details:
* Card dimensions are 5x5 inches
* Patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye 'Bella Bella' stack
* Colored cardstock is Recollections
* Bird is cut at 2 inches using 'A Child's Year' cartridge
* Labels cut using Nestabilities 'Labels One'
* Ticket and sentiment stamped using Pink By Design 'Just My Ticket' stamp set
* Tim Holtz 'Tea Dye' Distressed Ink used to ink the edges of papers and cuts to give a 'vintage' look.
* Cream lace and brown satin ribbon are from my stash
* Crocheted a tiny flower and added a pearl for the center
I really stepped outside my comfort zone for this challenge and I really like how it turned out.
Uh oh, now I think I need to add a "vintage" section to my crafty supplies.
I hope you'll create something "vintage" and play along. You can get all the details over at the Getting Cricky with K Andrew blog.
Thanks for stopping by!

Kathy you did AMAZING for stepping outside of your box! I like you don't do vintage very often and I hope when I jump in I do as well as you :)

Hi Kathy
ReplyDeleteConsidering you are non-vintage, you did wonderful!! I think that what happens to us, we say we cant but then when we jump in both feet, it takes us to another level. Btw, thats a great cut. I never noticed it on the ACY cart. Love the flower.
Thanks and Congrats for being a GDT at Getting Cricky!
