Vintage style ... with us at the Crafty Gals Corner

It's time for another challenge with us at the

This week we are letting our creative juices flow with
Challenge #127 - Vintage

The sponsor for this challenge is:
Faery Ink
Faery Ink
Prize: 3 Digital Images

Today I have used the beautiful Gabbie Holiday Belle digital stamp from Faery Ink, our generous sponsor this week.



I printed the image on A5 X-Press It blending card and heat set.  I printed another copy of the image on copy paper, covered it with X-Press It Mask It then fussy cut.
I overlaid the mask over the image panel then inked the background with Old Paper Distress Ink.  I heat set the inked panel then coloured with Copic Markers.

The droplets in the background were bleached with water then given some sparkle with a light touch of clear Wink Of Stella glitter brush.  The snow at the bottom of the image was also given a touch of sparkle.

The card base is an A5 top fold, covered with patterned paper.

I matted the image panel with Olive cardstock, then made a Forest panel to offset it, adding a luscious coating of Old Paper Distress Ink to make the colour richer and the same tone as the image panel.

A cluster of poinsettia flowers were adhered in place to finish off this vintage card.


Notes about the Copic markers:
I used a different combo for the rich, dark hair - E57-47-79
I used a different red combo for her dress - R35-37-39
I tried a different green combo for the foliage - BG90-93-96-99  ... athough these greens look lovely and blend well together, this shade of green gets a little "lost" against her hair, so I will need to be more careful next time.

    1. Thank You Sue :)
      I'm really pleased with the rich red combo of her dress ... it was a new one to me and it has me thinking that I don't need to avoid red blends any more.
