Vintage Easel Card

 

Here is an Easel card I made using La Blanche's "Composer" stamp, highlights coloured with distress inks and Glossy accents used as a resist. The ribbon accent and flowers were also tinted with distress inks and water. It just shows how these inks can be used to achieve a feminine look as well as the grunge look (which I also love). I think this is my favourite.

Distress Inks were used to slightly tint the ribbon and satin flower.

Distress Techniques and La Blanche stamps

Following up to my last post, here is another Vintage style card made using a La Blanche stamp. I first made a background using distress inks and Tim Holtz' spritz and flick technique. I then stamped the music stamp over the top in archival ink. The edges were distressed and coloured with distress inks. The music ribbon was also tinted slightly by swiping the ribbon through distress inks spritzed with water.

Seasons Greetings

I hope you all had a happy and safe Christmas and I wish everyone all the very best for 2013. Cherish the times spent with family and friends as it truly is precious. I haven't had much time to be creative this year, but I have made the odd card here and there. If you ask me, it doesn't get much better than a project that has a vintage theme that uses Tim Holtz products and techniques. There is much fun to be had :) And it just so happens that this months CC101 challenge theme is Vintage/Christmas or both. So here is a card I made using a La Blanche stamp (I love La Blanche stamps) and coloured with Distress inks. Glossy Accents used as a resist  ....
