Vintage Wedding Card

By
Make My Monday are following a Vintage theme all this month and this week the challenge is to create a Vintage Wedding card. Again I have struggled with this but we don't call them challenges for nothing so here goes -


I have used my Vintage Vogue stamp set along with Whisper White and Almost Amethyst card stock. I also used some Old Olive, Concord crush and Almost Amethyst inks. I made the edges of my card and flowers look a little more vintage by sponging with some distress inks.
My finishing touches are some seam binding ribbon and Liquid Pearls.
Please do and take a look at the other dt cards - they are so much more appropriate than mine and I will see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I know what you mean - vintage isn't really my natural style either but you've done a great job with this pretty floral. I love the way you've created the frames with the foliage stamp. Vicky x

    This is really pretty. I have this set and have never used it - so you have inspired me to get it out and have a go.

    This looks really lovely to me Jacqueline and some of the vintage cards for weddings I googled did just have flowers and words on them so I think it's fine.

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
