Allsorts Vintage

We've gone a little bit vintage at Allsorts this week if you'd like to challenge yourselves. 

I rarely make anything in this style these days but actually enjoyed putting this one together. 


I take a lot of inspiration from You Tube these days and really enjoy watching what the CraftStash Team have to offer (I also enjoy spending there too!!). On this occasion I referred to a lovely demo by Lou Collins who created a real vintage look here. I used another od Kanban stamp and an equally old paper pad that I just had to have after seeing Bev Rochester use it!! I also used an aged doily die and coredinations card stock that you sand back to reveal the colour.

Here, you can see the effect of the watercolour blurring underneath the heat embossed image.
 

It will come as no surprise that the prizes for October are fabulous, as always.


Here is a list of our generous sponsors Stamp AddictsOakwoodHighlight CraftsRuth Hamilton Dedsign, AALL and Create and Craft Stash.

Thank you for visiting today, it's much appreciated xx

  3. Great job with the vintage look, must admit I find this type of card difficult. Rumour has it that there was some throwing out and rowing up going on in the far field yesterday so fingers crossed! :)

  14. Beautiful vintage card, Sarah. I don't often make any vintage projects, so this would have been a really hard challenge for me :-) You got it spot on! Beautifully done, my friend.
    Have a wonderful day.
