Vintage Fun Thank you

Hello Everybody!

Happy Friday!  Today I am sharing with you a card I made using my fun stamps from Great Impressions.  



Here is the distressed background stamp (love it!!).  I used Tim Holtz's distress inks for this card.  So here I used antique linen and then used the stamped with walnut ink.  I used black soot around the edges.  The paper was a beige color to start with.


This picture shows the antique linen better.  Then I stamped the simple elegance stamp.  I used black soot but I stamped it on a different paper and used the 2nd stamping here.  At the top is a Tim Holtz mini paper clip.  The cord at the bottom came from a collection called Designer Threads.  


If you see the Tags stamp, you will see that it is inside a flag.  I cut out each word then drew a box around each word.  I glued the words onto this Tim Holtz tag and added blackcard stock in the background.  I had to add a dot of glue to the know of the thread that I tied the tag with.  I don't want the tag to fall off!


For the collage stamp I used black embossing powder on a darker beige colored cardstock.  Then I used peacock feathers, dust concord, and picked raspberry  lightly on the image.  I stamped the image again ink black ink and colored it in the same colors.  I cut out the stamp with the lady's face and covered it with Glossy Accents.  I seem to have rediscovered the epoxy sticker thing and have totally embraced it.  :)  I used pop dots underneath it.

 Here is a closeup picture.  The notes are from a Darice embossing folder and Coredinations paper where I sanded off the darker layer to reveal the lighter layer.  I also used Tim H.'s film strip and a piece of his pattern paper behind the main collage.
