Happy Sunday, peeps! Brrrr, winter has come upon us….hopefully this chilly weather won’t last too long here in PA! I am the hostess today for the Paper Players, and I chose one of my favorite styles of stamping: vintage!
I just love the vintage, antique look you can achieve with some of the beautiful papers and stamps on the market these days! I have tons of vintage digital images, too, but this week I decided to focus on some beautiful papers I got recently from Graphic 45 called Botanical Tea:
Not a lot of stamping here, just a few layered embellishments and a pretty row of organdy roses, retired from SU. I made a multi-layered flower with the Boho Blossom punch, and added some leaves from My Favorite Things, who also made the sentiment. I did a little sponging and added a few glittery elements as well! The sketch is a lovely one from Stampin’ Royalty:
I sure hope you will play along with my challenge this week and shabby something up, or stamp something with an antique image! Check out what the other designers created:
Cassidy told me she was going to draw me a leaf! First, she drew the outline, then began to color it in:
Not too bad! Of course, using Grammy’s (retired) SU markers makes drawing and coloring even better!
Enjoy your day!
Beautiful card. Love the paper and the layout.
ReplyDeleteThe first think I thought was she is using SU markers. LOL She did a great job. She definitely takes after grandma. She has good color sense and style.
Love your gorgeous card LeAnne. The blues are pretty and nice papers and embellishments too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! I love the blues with those flowers. Thanks for a great challenge!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, your card is beautiful! The papers are perfect for the vintage theme and I still have some of those roses too! I believe I have a dusty purple/lavender! I love the sketch too....
ReplyDeleteI love that Casey has such an eye for color and shading! A chip of the grand block she is!
