Vintage Blue
June 1, 2009
Although I love lace and the vintage look, I don’t often make vintage themed cards. I was inspired by a card I saw with an embossed, then sponged background. I used the Textile cuttlebug folder and sponged lightly over the top. I stamped my flower and my sentiment then cut them out. The oval was cut using the CM oval cutters and the tag with the ticket corner punch and a little trimming. I wanted the same thread on the tag as is in the lace so I unraveled some of the lace to get enough thread to tie a little bow.
Thanks for dropping in today. I hope to be back tomorrow with my CASE from the Sunday’s featured stamper on Splitcoast.
Supplies:
Stamps: Eastern Influences, Pocket Silhouettes

The delicate colors, your lacy trim, and the toile-like image are beautiful! I always see Bordering Blue as a soft subtle, and you certainly made a soft, subtle card!
