What about Vintage Fashion?

You know I love also vintage fashion  theme,,,so I have designed a new Vintage Bathing sheet to add your Summer Cards with a really a unique style,,,,,,here is my new "Bringing Life Vintage Bathing". You can enjoy the elegant and great work by Carole working with this Bathing Sheet:

What a fantastic Vintage Friendship Card by Carole 

I have combined the portrait from Nicecrane with a bathing belle stamp from Crafty Individuals. I stamped on some ' I do like to be beside the seaside' paper from Pink Petticoat using black archival and heat embossed with clear powder, but otherwise left uncoloured.

I used my sewing machine (it is so handy that it's now on the next desk!) and stitched around the edge of the image, which I had matted and layered on to some pale turquoise card (by Tilda, left over from another project).

The pre-coloured image was die cut using a scalloped oval die by Spellbinders and inked at the edges. I inked the edges of virtually every element of this card using Rusty Hinge distress ink. I cut a rough oval shape using Tilda card and sewed around it, then mounted the image on it. I used some turquoise card, die cut with the Oval die to make a small divide on the card between the images.


To finish I embossed a piece of kraft card with the 'That Special Touch of" Rope Mask that I have been using a lot with my projects for Sam, through my Grand Calibur and then stitched around the edge. I then added the sentiment, some hessian, string, voile and a little sea shell from my California Collection (yes I really have a collection of shells brought back over the years... they don't usually get used on cards though, so this card was honoured!)

Wowwww what a colorful New Sheet:

Add a vintage look to yur craft and cards working with my lates Vintage Summer Sheets. This time a unique and great mini album by Avril,,,,,,,,,,,,with so many details,,,,,,so elegant , so cute,,,,,,,,,.she was working with my "' Children at the Seaside" Sheet,,,,,,,,Enjoy watching her amazing work-(Directly from her blog).....

Hello and welcome to some dreams of warm summer days - hopefully, they won't be too long in coming, or at least that's what I was thinking when Ignacio of Nicecrane Designs asked if I would like to use his new ' Children at the Seaside' images, which you can see here. 

I have made a little mini album following this Stack the Deck tutorial. My label was printed on the computer and I stamped the frame, then triple embossed with Clear EP. I did intend to collect some shells from the sea shore, but unfortunately, the weather here has been less than kind for this time of the year, so some little shells were stamped and colours and again embossed with clear. To tie in with this I also triple embossed the image of the little girl and there was no loss of clarity.

  Iused manila envelopes for my pages and the papers were a freebie with a magazine last summer. Lots of little pockets and tags tied with scraps of red and blue ribbons.

GET CHILDREN AT THE SEASIDE

Thanks a million to the Team,,,,,and enjoy the New Releases.
