The papers are pretty old, I found them in my stash and I really liked the design on them, the lace I made with a Spellbinders die from the Parisian Accents set.

Elegant Vintage Lady Card...

{Beautiful creation & posting by Angelica Turner - BLOG}

I created this little card with this very elegant lady image from the "French Vintage" clear stamp set. Ok, I have to admit sometimes I go a bit overboard, I stamped the image twice on white Canson paper, colored it with Marvy markers and cut out with scissors, for the second image I only cut out each ruffle of her dress and adhered it to the first image, the photo doesn't show the dimension very well, but it looks very pretty in person. The blue flower I made with an EK Success punch and vellum paper, I shaped each petal with an embossing tool and added stickles to the edges.

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' D'Amour (French Vintage)
Inks: StazOn (Jet Black)
Image Colored with: Marvy LePlume II (0 Blender pen, 68 daffodil yellow, 13 ochre, 47 pale pink, 30 rosewood.

I'm happy to share a card with you that I made with a great circus ticket stamp from Stampin' d'Amour! SDA has so many great vintage image stamps that are all the rage right now and this is no exception!

I start by pulling out papers and extras that I'm considering for the card and keep them on my desk as I piece the card together.

I stamp the ticket images on white card stock using a piece of foam underneath to get a crisp image.

I cut out the tickets and distressed them both by crunching them up with my hands and inking them up with dye inks.

I finished the card using a coordinating poster image from the same paper pad, some shabby ribbon and a glittery star.

Supplies: Stamps - Circus Ticket (SDA), DP - LeCirque (Graphic 45), Ribbon/Glitter Star - MemrieMare (Etsy)

"PaRiS" Mini Canvas Tutorial

{Gorgeous creation & posting by Angelica Turner - BLOG}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good Morning Friday, hope everyone had a good week and is ready to welcome the weekend. Today I have a little tutorial on making this vintage inspired mini canvas with a stamp from Stampin' D'Amour. I used lots of fun goodies, some feathers, a crochet flower I made a while back, a pin I made with some beads I found in my bead stash, anyways, hope you like the tutorial.

I started by picking 2 acrylic paint colors that would contrast and look good together for the crackle finish.

Start by painting your mini canvas with the burnt umber color acrylic paint, let dry or dry with a heat gun.

Apply a coat of crackle medium and follow instructions on the bottle, mine calls for a nice even coat and let dry until the medium is tacky to the touch.

Apply a coat of contrasting paint, for mine I used this color called bone, I didn't want to wait for the air drying so I used my heat gun to dry the canvas.

Ink edges with walnut stain ink.

Stamp image on cream cardstock with blazing red StazOn ink.

Distress edges with a distress tool, this one is my favorite.

Ink edges of image with walnut stain ink for
that extra distressed look.

Diecut the Spellbinders border from red cardstock.

Cut the border in small sections to make a
frame around the stamped image.

Glue the sections to the image,
make sure to trim the corners of the pieces you are using on the corner.

Here is the final image with the lace border completed.

I mixed some Golden gloss gel medium with
Pearl Ex powder and painted a mulberry rose.

Before the medium dried I put some Diamond Dust on the rose, I love the look this adds to my flowers.

I used a Quickutz die to cut some leaves from glitter cardstock.

Using a embossing tool, I shaped the leaves to give them some dimension.

I ...added some pop dots to the stamped image for dimension.

Adhere a couple of feathers, the crochet flower and painted rose, the leaves. I also made a pin with some beads I had in my stash. As a final touch I added some gold Stickles to the stamped image and the crochet flower.

Vintage Typewriter Card...

{Fabulous creation & posting by Jennifer Cuthbertson - BLOG}

Today I'm happy to share with you a card I made using the fabulous Vintage Typewriter stamp from Stampin' d'Amour! I love the vintage images they have and this one's no exception! I stamped the typewriter image on a manila tag and distressed it by crumpling it over and over (it was really soft when I finished!) and adding a lot of dye ink. I finished the tag with red twine to give it a vintage repair tag feel. I thought the tag would be a great addition to the new Curtain Call collection from Graphic 45 and I finished the card with a couple of red bead accents.
