Vintage 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

 

I'm afraid the theme Vintage, threw me out of my comfort zone. I had nothing in my mind that I could do, even looking on the web, didn't help, the only thing I saw I liked, was with a blue theme, so here is my version of a "Blue? Vintage".

I found this lady and a paper I thought would match her, in my files. I printed them out, then looked through my stamps to see what could be vintage, I found these cherry blossom stamps and thought I could use them.

I stamped two in Distress Ink stormy sky and die cut them, then brushed over them with an DI antique linen, that's vintage? I did the same with the sentiments. Next, I felt it needed something else and haven't used ribbon for ages, I found a grey ribbon, that I also wiped with DI antique linen. 

For some reason, I decided to use a deckle edge for the lady image, I had to go searching for the deckle scissors, I found them, and a die, that shouldn't be where it was! Decided that had to be used too, and so, after antique linen was wiped around the image after cutting, 2 corner die cuts were added to the image. I also cut the sentiments with the deckle edge scissors.

The leaf paper was added to the same grey paper as the corner die, the ribbon placed onto them, and both attached to the base card. I then 3D'd the cherry blossom stamps, which were placed around the image. The stamped sentiments were glued to the ribbon and the image. After they were all attached to the base card, I wiped around the card, again with antique linen.

After choosing a blue theme, the blue wasn't very blue, but I liked the card in the end. I hope this card is vintage enough, as to my thought process with this card, goodness knows where it came from.
