A floral card to share today using a pre-owned stamp acquired recently. I stamped and coloured using Distress ink for a water colour effect. I found a suitable piece of background paper and then, aiming for a sort of vintage style I stamped some text onto a strip of paper which I then distressed using a variety of small stamps. The main image was also distressed and one of the edges cut using a 'torn notebook' die. Finally a scrap of another torn notebook paper and a sentiment were added.
Flowers - Aall & Create stamp
Text Strip - stamped using a Dictionary Page stamp from Stampin' Up (long retired)
Background - Designer paper from an old pad (Phill Martin)
Torn Notebook - unbranded die
Sentiment - from an ancient Tim Holtz set with matching die to cut
Lovely vintage look to this piece Val - great combo of the flower and background papers, and I love the torn notebook die edging xx

ReplyDeleteHi Val
ReplyDeleteA great card using a lovely pre-loved stamp. Not sure I would have been able to part with it if it had been mine.
Love the layout and your addition of the script backing - I have a soft spot for script on card fronts for some reason.
Hope your week is off to a good start.
Love and hugs
