Vintage Vogue Cajun and Gray

Good morning,

Here's another vintage look for me. I've got Cajun Craze, Newsprint DSP and Basic Gray going here. I stamped images from Vintage Vogue on the background and on the newsprint in Cajun as well. I made sure that some of the images were stamped off to give it a different look.

I stamped the flower, cut it out and secured it with an antique brad. Then I stamped the sentiment on twill tape with basic gray ink and adhered it with a brad.

You know me, easy peasy is the way to go.

Take care and have a fantastic day,

Much love and joy,

Vintage Vogue Pink and Gray Lace

Good morning everyone!
I'm up and at 'em today! Much to do and needing to get to it. I took my second 50,000 IU of prescribed Vitamin D treatment yesterday and needed to adjust. I hope it makes a difference this fall. My rhematologist thinks it will so I'm very hopeful. It's always nice when they have a lab test to check things.

Here's my card for today .... a little Vintage action, thank you!

I think I'm getting the hang of this vintage thing. Not totally, but kind of. I wanted to do a vintage card that didn't use so many dark colors and I still ended up using some gray. Ah well!

This card used the Basic Gray cardstock as a base. I used Blushing Bride DSP from the Hostess Level I paper pack for the top portion. It's such an old fashioned wall paper design. I stamped the image from Friends Never Fade on the bottom portion of the card. I have to get this set! I used a friend's when we were stamping together!

I die cut a Top Note in Blushing Bride cardstock and trimmed off a portion of it for a different look. I put Victoria lace across the card and an Antique Brad at the edge to hold it, otherwise the stickiness came through. I strung more lace through a silver ribbon slide and used a glue dot to stick it to the upper portion of the card along with a vanilla half pearl from the Pretties Kid. The sentiment and F are from the set Vintage Vogue and the small word 'friends' in script is from Tiny Tags. I adhered the tag with a brad in Basic Gray from the new Neutrals brad collection.

You can barely see it but I punched out a teeny tiny heart in gray with the new heart border punch. Don't ask, I just thought it was so doggone cute! At any rate, here's my vintage card for the week.

Take care!

Much love and joy,

Pretties Vintage

Okay, this one is really out of the box. I decided I'd try to combine Newsprint DSP with Pretties flowers, pearls and other doo dah. I wish I would have put more black behind the Friends image. At any rate here it is.

I love the new Cherry Cobbler ink and so far it's another one of my go-to colors. Both pretties were colored with aquapainters, one in cobbler and one in various shades of chocolate chip. I spritzed the newsprint with Smootch Spritz.

The ruffle is Newsprint DSP, punched with the heart border then rumpled and folded until I had this little mess. That's one of the reasons I should've put black card stock behind more of the focal. Hmm. I may have to revise this.

At any rate, I'm still struggling with the vintage look. I'll keep plugging away! Stay tuned!

Much love and joy,
