Happy Friday, peeps! I haven't made a vintage-style card for a while, and I loved the sketch at Fusion:
I got some new papers from Kaisercraft called Pen & Ink, and this is what I came up with:
I did flip the sketch because I wanted the floral image to be oriented from the left. I stamped a sentiment from Friend Are Like Seashells, then added some punchouts from the pad as a horizontal border. I dyed some Crinkled Seam Binding with some Gray Granite and Soft Suede ink and made a shabby bow as an embellishment:
For the bottom element, I cut another piece from the pad, rounded the edges and tucked it under the border:
My final embellishment was some gold pearls! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

LeAnne, this is an awesome card! Wish you did videos, I'd love to make that beautiful bow!!
ReplyDeleteWell done LeAnne..love this. Great bow using seam binding and staining it. I do believe I have some from my mother.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I seldom use it [why?] but I will always have you to thank for sharing the microwave trick with that seam binding! Noone does a bow quite like you - gorgeous! Speaking of... OH that paper! Just a beautiful rendition of that Sketch!
