Woohoo, two posts in one day! I love vintage stuff, but still struggle to pull it off. Today's SCS challenge WT 244 was to use a faux finish or texture. One of my favorite techniques is faux tin, so I decided to do a faux tin heart and use it as an embellishment with some Jenni Bowlin papers & Bingo cards I got recently.
This kind of looks like a jumbled mess to me; but maybe someone with a sense of humor will enjoy it as a birthday card! All images are from Sweet Bee by CHF, as is the backgrounder. The crocheted flower is from my sweet friend Kristin and the prima is from my sweet friend Tammy! Here's a closeup of the faux tin heart:
To make the faux tin, simply cut a shape from Really Rust cardstock; dauber it heavily with Really Rust ink, then sponge Chocolate Chip ink over top. I distressed the edges as well. Isn't that flower cute?
Thank for coming by again! Any questions, just holler!

Wonderful! I just love "vintage-y things" but just do not have the talent and imagination to create them. This is wonderful!!
Love it.

It's not your typical type card but I love the end result! Thanks for the directions on the "tinning" process...I've got the supplies and think I'll give it a try. I've always liked those tin star ornaments....
I love all the interest you have created. The embellishing is wonderful. My first visit to your blog and I have really enjoyed !
Gorgeous...I love all the layers and the vintage feel!! So pretty!
Smiles,

Beautiful vintage card, I love the bingo card and your faux tin heart!
Fantastic, LeAnne!!! Just fantastic!!!
It's gorgeous. A friend of mine makes vintage paper bag albums and I've never quite perfected the look, but I love it!
Love the playfulness of the "bingo" carad. Love the way you put your designs together. You are so creative and I'm so fortunate to have found your blog way back when. You continue to delight!
