At any rate, I finished the week! Here are the last three cards! For Day 170, which was Vintage Plus Blue: I am not really sure this is vintage, but I had colored this stamp the other night and really wanted to use her for the blue day. I paired her with vintage prints and hope for the best!
I sponged some chalk ink around the image, and got a bit heavy-handed on the one side...so pretend you don't notice! That fab-tastic border is made with the NEW Spellbinders Edgeabilities dies!
This cute stamp is from Penny Black. I have not purchased any Penny Black stamps in a long time and was really happy to find some cute ladies and children stamps recently!
For Day 172, which was Vintage Plus Green...I had some troubles. I told you the other day that green is NOT my "go to" color! But, using green and gray together worked out pretty well! (Did you notice: I decided to go with a "skinny girl dress" theme for today?!)
I stamped and fussy cut the dress, then added some shading with Copics.
I had some sparkly silver ribbon, just a tiny bit left over from another project...and it was perfect for this card!
For Day 173, we were to do Vintage Plus Yellow. Yellow is another color I almost never use. But this Authentique paper is so pretty that I grabbed it right away for this card!
The gray, black, kraft and yellow combo seems to work pretty well for a vintage card. Plus I stamped a ticket and cut it out. Nothing says vintage to me like tickets!
The flowers are from Prima, and I also found some yellow baker's twine in my stash the other day. Really Reasonable Ribbon has this really great assortment, so I snagged it a while back, and promptly forgot I had it. It's fun to shop your stash! Never know what you'll find! Yum!

Well, well, well... It's been a (too) long time since I playes with you on Pam's challenges...
ReplyDeleteI looked through your posts this weeks, and what can I say... Pure beauty, each one of your creations.
But I did notice that you had to be a bit of a rebel, with the blue one.
And yes, Pam sure didn't drink one of her special coffee drinks. The sketch is real nice.
Off I go to try and make two more cards for this week (and I just might get my all-star badge!)
You take care, dear G....
I love your cards.
ReplyDeletethey are absolutely beautiful.

Your cards are all beautiful Gloria! Yellow is the color that I never seem to use but your Vintage Plus Yellow card is just GORGEOUS! I really must try it! Maybe the trick is in adding the gray, black and kraft...and your talent of course! lol Thank you for the inspiration!...Nancy :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creations. I like the yellow one best. Love the little ticket.

All of your cards are gorgeous! I love the yellow, grey, black and Kraft combo! Never would have thought to put Kraft with Yellow.

I absolutely love the paper on your yellow card - so divine!! Love the black/kraft/one colour combo on cards. I'm just going to have to find some time to sit down and make at least ONE card this week! Love vintage :)
ReplyDeleteAll of your cards are awesome, Gloria, and even though I don't use yellow much either, I do like your yellow card the best. The color combo looks great and I love, love, love that image (plus the ticket, of course! lol) Thanks for the inspiration this week. I am definitely going to try to get some vintage cards in.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed and RESTFUL Sunday!

Hm, my kitten got jealous when I looked at your cards, and got up on the computer and tried to get me to pet her instead of bragging about your cards.

I usually don't care for the colour gray in anything, so imagine my surprise when my favorite of the bunch was the yellow and gray one. Lovely, simply lovely !
ReplyDeleteAll three of these cards are beautiful!! You obviously have a great eye when it comes to vintage! Thank you so much for playing along with us this week for the challenges!!!
