The House of Cards challenge theme this week is SHABBY/VINTAGE, still using the sketch for the month of October. I used a Marianne die to cut a shaped square from Core'd'nations card which was then sanded and cut into four triangles layered onto another piece of card. The penny farthing is a Stampin' up stamp on a Stampin' Up label die shape with a greeting added. Backing paper is from Tim Holtz vintage shabby paper pad. Next week we will be into a new month with another theme for the month so keep an eye on their blog if you are interested in taking part.
The sketch for october
Another great card Val, I love what you've done to the Marianne die it makes it look so different.

Hi Val, a really lovely card - I love the colors you've chosen and that penny farthing stamp just suits the vintage style perfectly! Claire x
ReplyDeleteYour shaped square is an amazing interpretation of the sketch & I the image is very fitting - as is the colour palette - for the shabby/vintage category.

Love the idea of cutting the blueish piece in four to get the sketch shape. Thanks for joining us again at HOC.
