Vintage Style Card

Hello everyone


Well, I have been out celebrating my son's and daughter-in-laws Wedding Anniversary today.  They have been married 17 years today.  It was lovely going out for a carvery with them, their two sons and my hubby to  a local hotel and the food was gorgeous.


Anyhow, before I talk about the vintage style card, I will show you the card I made for my son Robert and his wife Sue:

I made this very simple card using my nestabilities die cuts for the hearts, and marianne dies for the man and woman.  It was really very simple, and I used peel-offs for the wording. and glued a lovely cream and black rose next to the words.  So there you have it!


However, here is the one I wanted to show you, which I made this week:

This is an A5 landscape card in size.  The base card is a creamy white leather effect card.  On to this I stuck pale green flowery paper and to the left of the paper and the image I glued cream open weave very wide lace and on top of that I glued black lace and on top of that I glued and glittered cream and black rose.  I then stuck the image on using double sided sticky foam fixers.  Above the image I glued some brown card which has newsprint on it.  On the bottom I layered some card which had gold cogs on it and then put some gold and white striped paper on top of that.  Then I layered some white sticky ribbon with gold edges and on top of that I put some white satin and organza ribbon.  Finally over that I glued some string.  At the bottom left hand side I placed the sentiment, which says congratulations and on the right hand side I glued a vintage button through which I had threaded and knotted string.


So where did I get everything from?


Well, I'll tell you since you're asking!!!!!!


Base card:  Papetiere 
Green flowery paper: Funky Daze CD
Cream and black lace: Papetiere 
Rose: Crafts U Love
Image: Kanban, Papetiere 
Cog card: Kanban, Papetiere 
Gold and white striped paper: Fred She Said
Sticky ribbon and string;  my own stash
Sentiment and button: My own stash

So, most of the items I bought at my last shopping trip to Aberdeen at the Papetiere.  It's a fabulous shop, and the girls there are so helpful and friendly, which makes it a good day out.


I hope you like the card.


Very much like the card with the steamship, I will now show you another vintage style card I made using another Kanban image:

Once again I have used steam punk style items on this card.  I used a gold/beige metallic base card onto which I layered deep red textured paper.  Over that I put card with cogs and wheels on, all in beiges and gold.  Across, just under the centre of the card I put a strip of cream card with gold cogs on it and then layered some black ribbon with a red metallic fringe.  Over that I put the image of the man using double sided sticky foam fixers. I used orange gemstones to highlight the buttons on the man's jacket.  I love the cream and black rose so it just had to be used on this card to soften it up a little bit.  I used holograhpic cog peel-offs at random on the card and stuck a line of clear gemstones on the left hand side.  The sentiment jusst plain black with silver writing that says 'with love'.


Base card: Papetiere

Many blessings to all who pop by.
