Vintage Baby

I made this card a while back and haven’t had the chance to post it – so here goes!

The base is So Saffron and I layered it on the bottom with More Mustard and on top with So Saffron Designer Paper. I really love the tone-on-tone effect of these colours together. The designer paper has been sponged with a decor stencil from Elegant Trio stencil set (using More Mustard ink) and the edges have also been sponged.

The bottom layer is Sweet Pea designer paper which was again sponged and I also stamped over the pattern with the Very Vintage jumbo wheel and So Saffron ink.

Along the seam where to two designer papers meet, I adhered a More Mustard layer which was punched with the Eyelet Border punch and tied over some 5/8″ Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon. I added a big bow and on it a More Mustard button and a tag from Tiny Tags which I punched out with the Medium Jewelry tag punch.

For the centre image, I stamped the buggy from Puns from the Past in Chocolate Chip craft ink and sponged the edges with So Saffron. I adhered this to a More Mustard layer and distressed the edges.

To finish the vintage look, I took my Chocolate Chip marker and Spritzer tool and spritzed the entire card.
