Hello Dear Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
I'm hosting today and as you can see by my blog title ... the theme is
Looking Back in Time
(create something that reminds you of times gone by)
Here's the mood board I've created to help inspire you . . .
Here's what I have to share with you today ...
My card is 5.5" square and uses the following products:
The image is from a collage pack called 'Vintage Photographs' from TJ Designs by TweetyJill. She used to be on Etsy but I don't see where her store is open any more. Sorry! I purchased my pack of sheets several years ago at the Adventures in Stamping Convention held here in Akron every Spring.
The key if from K&Company and the sticky backed lace (very old) is by Jambo.
After die cutting my frame from white card stock, I sponged a bit of Tim Holtz distress 'walnut stain' over the top to give it an aged appearance. A 5.5 square panel of Kraft card stock was added to the back before adhering to my white card base.
The oval dies I used for my image and white mat are the OLD (my first set of stackable dies) Sizzix Oval dies. They were the perfect shape / size to fit in the opening on this die.
I've also added a medium size Gold Dot by Stampendous in the center of the clock hands.

ReplyDeleteVery vintage indeed!! A great use of that die and absolutely perfect for the challenge!! I have that lace too..somewhere, did we get it at Joan's? lol!!
ReplyDeleteGreat mood board, I think you have stirred up a lot f memories for us!!
Oh, I just love this Dar! The vintage frame collage style frame is so lovely and is just perfect with that sweet picture. That old key is the perfect finishing touch too. I'm completely smitten by this darling creation!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is beautiful, Dar! The lace frame makes it look like a mini tapestry. I've never seen this die cut...need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to bring my lace out to play. What a beautiful frame it makes! And that Yvonne die, sigh... I have several of those on my wish list. Love how you sponged to age it. You even went vintage with your oval dies, your first stackables. You've come a long way, baby! I still have my first dies, too, and use them all the time -- basic circles and ovals. Ah, memories!
ReplyDeletePerfect card for this challenge. I love the lace the die cut and the sepia tone. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vintage design with the background and that awesome photo.
ReplyDeleteAmazing card!! Love the design, so creative!! The key and the brad on the clock arrows are perfect details!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I love the board too. Especially the rotary phone. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteThat die is so perfect for your vintage image, love the inking you did on it and the lace to frame the whole card looks great! Like the key added to it to, great vintage feel!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! That frame is magnificent and I love how you sponged it to age it. The image is just as wonderful. Feels like I am looking at a layout in my Grandmother's scrapbook! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat vintage card with the clock and the key. We both were inspired the same. It is good to be in the craft room with you.
ReplyDeleteThis project is so pretty. I adore your idea of using the lace as a frame. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the look you have created here. Now I wish I would have used a beautiful photo of my grandmother in her high school graduation picture. She was lovely and it would have made a beautiful card. Great vintage-y card.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous Darlene! I love all those beautiful vintage elements.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful example of vintage! I love how the background clock indicates the passing of time along with the old photo! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your vintage card and what a great idea to use lace as a frame! Love it!
