A touch of vintage . . .

Today I'd like to share with you TWO creations made using the same image  ... just two different vintage styles.

This adorable image was offered up as a freebie over on the Nicecrane Designs Group of CDAC but I'm sure you can find this image and I know MANY, MANY more at his store found HERE.

The background paper I have used on both of these creations is from GCD Studios (Ella Blue) and was purchased at Hobby Lobby.  For this first card ... I've kept it pretty simple and adorned the envelope to match the background of my card.

On my second card, I have made it a little more 'vintage' in style by distressing the edges of the background paper both with a distresser and distress ink by Tim Holtz (vintage photo).  I have used Spellbinder Nestabillities classic & scallop ovals to showcase my image.  The base card is craft which I have also distressed with ink.

A peek at the inside of this card shows how I used the same paper and have cut out the scallop oval to position my sentiment within.  A brown round tip marker was used for the dots on the inside and a white Signo pen was used for the dots around the scallop oval on the front image.  The lace I have used for the front is from Stampin' Up.

A few challenge sites I'd like to share these cards with are:
Corrosive Challenges - Distressing
Gingerloaf - Furry Friends
I Did It Creations - Punches or Dies
Sparkles Forum - Pink, Brown & Blue


I hope you've enjoyed my vintage creations today!  This will be a busy crafting week for me ... so BE PREPARED!!  You know how much I enjoy sharing ALL my creations with you!!  I hope I don't throw you into overload this week ... but I have some exciting news to share and hopefully some inspiration for you along the way!  Have a great day!!

Hugs,
Darlene
