I decided to challenge myself and try a shabby-vintage style, which is very difficult for me. I stamped the Medallion stamp from Stampin' Up on some text paper from a My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 6 x 6 pad, embossed it in clear, and then inked it up with tattered rose, victorian velvet, worn lipstick, and tea dye Distress Inks. I added a bit of crocheted lace, some seam binding, and a tag and tiny hearts from the Tiny Tags set by Papertrey Ink.
I am also uploading this card to this week's Make it Monday #108 challenge at Papertrey Ink, since it is also an inked background challenge.
In addition to the inked background technique, I played with paper piecing. I used the Year of Flowers: Daffodil set from Papertrey Ink.
That wraps up Pattern Play Day 2! Thanks for stopping by!

Love your card for the MIM - just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, the photo didn't do this beautiful card justice until I blew it up to look more closely. Gorgeous and well done. Very vintage. The paper piecing is so sweet, great job!
ReplyDeleteI think your card is the first one using the medallion stamp and lace that I have really loved. It is beautiful.
