LOC A Vintage Touch

It has been great having so many of you call across and visit - I do appreciate you taking the time, I know life is so busy for everyone!  You make blogging such a great place to be!  My card for you today is created using both Layers of Color Art Stencils and Clear Art Stamps.


I sponged the DP using with the Layers of Color Botanical Swirls Art Stencil, tearing one edge and sponging it with the distressing ink - I used Frayed Burlap and Peeled Paint to get this look!

A row of chunky lace has been added along the lower edge - I love the texture this adds - I had actually put it aside in my 'one day......' pile - I am glad I kept it!!


The flowers from the Nature Walk set  have been stamped, cut and coloured, popping them up on foam tape in several places.  I add some tape under some of the leaves to add more dimension.  Black brads are added. A strip of an old Hymnal has been pleated and sponged, then added beneath the lace!  The SU sentiment has been punched with a 'Ticketed' Punch and tucked in with the flowers....you can never have too many of these cards on hand.


I have tried to capture the two colours on the sponging with the Art Stencil, but it is overcast and not such a good day for photographing....but you can see the gorgeous Vintage Corner that was added as a finishing touch, along with two small black gems.
