Thinking of you

 

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Tonight I am sharing a card that I have created using this darling child and bunny image from Pinterest. 

To create my card I first started with some pre-scored kraft card stock. Next, with double sided tape I adhered this lovely coffee & script paper. I have distressed the edges of the paper with vintage photo distress ink. 

Using my fiskars paper trimmer I cut a piece of book page  and adhered it to the left side of my card. Next, I tore some corrugated card stock, which I painted lightly with white paint. I then dried it with a heat tool. Next, I fixed the panel of card onto my card using two brass coloured brads. I have used vintage photo distress ink on all edges of card and paper. I then adhered the image using double sided tape and pop dots to give it some dimension. 

 

Finally, I typed out a word label and adhered it to the bottom right of my card.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage card. Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

I have created a few artist trading cards using these darling vintage images from Polly's Paper Studio.

I cut some black card measured at the standard ATC size 2.5 Inches x 3.5 Inches. Then I adhered my chosen papers. I have also used some spooky paper banners from the Halloween paper kit from Eyeinspire.

What a day!

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! There's a new challenge over at TTCRD and our lovely sponsors are Stix2 Anything. There's also a fab prize to be won too! Here is a little more info about them:

Based in the North East of England we supply to craft shops around the world, making many of our products on our premises. 

Here is my DT creation; please carry on reading to see how I made my vintage art tag...

To create my vintage tag, I first chose this lovely pink crackled paint texture paper that I purchased from Etsy a while back. (I have tried to add the link to the shop, but unfortunately it no longer exists.) I also chose this delightful vintage image to use as a focal point on my tag. 

I have used a sheet of paper from the shades of September pack from Raspberry road designs; a fishing net kraft card die cut and a small vintage clipart Crab. 

I tore a piece of corrugated card and inked the edges with Ground Espresso distress oxide. 

I adhered all layers of paper onto a piece of kraft card stock measured at 5.5 inches x 3.5 inches. I distressed all edges with a Tim Holtz distressing tool and Ground Espresso distress oxide. I then adhered the piece of corrugated card using double sided tape. Next, I adhered the vintage image to the centre of the tag also, using double sided tape along with some sticky foam squares to give some height, so that it stands up, off the layers of paper and corrugated card. 

Next, I adhered cheesecloth using wet glue to the bottom left corner of the tag. Over that, I adhered the fish net die cut and clipart Crab. 

Finally, I printed out the words 'what a day' and adhered them to the tag. I have loved making this! Thanks so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it. Hugs Zowie xx

Dapper dogs! - a new addition!

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! Today I am sharing with you two vintage tags that I have made. I love doggos and have always wanted one to complete my family, but circumstances with where I was living, did not allow me to have any pets. But I am excited to announce that there is now a new addition to my family. Our gorgeous Princess came to live with us three weeks ago and she has settled in just perfectly! We have so much love and time to give her and I just adore her! Please scroll down if you would like to see more photographs of her..

 Our newest family member.

I found these fabulous vintage images and have used them to make two art tags.  

I have used this lovely paper from Raspberry Road Designs. 

I started with two plain white tags cut from basic cardstock and adhered the paper using double-sided tape. I distressed the edges of the paper using a distressing tool and Ground Espresso distress oxide. 

Next, I added some corrugated cardboard, distressed with ground espresso distress oxide. The main image has been adhered with double-sided tape and pop dots.

Finally, I fussy cut some Bumble Bee clipart and added them to the tag. 

Here are some more photos of my doggo:
