Gina’s Vintage Card

Here's another fabulous pink and brown card we made at the Team Swap last week.  Gina created a great vintage Wedding or Anniversary card.  She used the new Blushing Bride card stock and marker along with Crumb Cake card stock and ink.

Other supplies used:

Occasional Quotes stamp set, Elements of Style stamp set, Bitty buttons, Lattice die with the Big Shot,  and the Pinking Hearts border punch.  You can't see it in the picture but we also used the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.  It's sooo pretty!

Here is Tracy's pretty card she created for our Team Shoebox swap.  I just love pink and brown together, don't you?

Elements of Style with Shimmer

Here is a card I created with the Elements of Style stamp set.  I guess I'm in a Vintage and watercoloring phase right now.  I seem to be drawn to this style a lot lately.  It's so calming.

I particularly enjoyed using the new Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder and the Smooch Illuminate Top coat.  Can you see the glimmer here and there on the flowers?  Sooooo simple and pretty!  It dries quickly too.

Layers:
   – Melon Mambo (4 1/8" x 5 3/8")
   – Basic Black (3 5/8" x 4 5/8")
   – Naturals White (3.5" x 4.5")

Embellishments:  Basic Black 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink - Illuminate Top Coat

Inks: Black Stazon, Rose Red, Certainly Celery pad and marker, Melon Mambo marker, Bordering Blue (retired color)

Accessories: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, aquapainter, Illuminate Top Coat

I hope you like it!  For what occasion would you send this card?
