Vintage Mid month WLSC

   Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme, chosen by Lynn -

Vintage.
 
As I said at the beginning of the month, this theme threw me, but, I found a die cut strip of card in my bits box, so decided to see if I could make it vintage. I blended DO's, mustard seed, vintage photo and antique linen ink, all over the strip, then used a text stamp and DO vintage photo to add texture. 
 
The flowers were stamped with mustard seed and coloured with fired brick, the leaves were stamped with Stazon black, and coloured with DO's forest moss, mowed lawn. The sentiment die cut, was shaded the same colours as the main piece and the sentiment stamped with DO vintage photo.  
inks - Distress Oxide colours as above
flowers, text & sentiment stamps - Magazine freebies SC&P #239

Don't forget, we now require At least one stamped element on entries. Those of you like us, who love to stamp, we would still love you to enter your fully stamped entry.

The wonderful Prizes are from Lisa Horton Crafts, coordinating embossing folder, die and stencils and two dies from Highlight Crafts


Our Sister Challenge "Allsorts" is celebrating 15 fabulous years, today. Congratulations to you all. 
They have a Fun Fold Challenge until the end of the month, I'm sure they would love you to join in and share the badge.
