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.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 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
