Alison CT - Vintage doesn't have to be brown

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this vintage style card and showing that vintage doesn't have to be brown.

To begin I cut a piece of card and a piece of old music manuscript to 6 x 6 inches and then used matte medium to glue one to the other.

 

Once the glue was dry, I painted over the manuscript with lavender and watery Dina Wakley acrylic paint. This I left to dry completely.

 

To add to the vintage look, I used one of the blades of my scissors to rough up the edges of the piece.

Then, I rubbed a sanding block over the painted areas to distress them.

Next, I cut a piece of white lace to the correct length to go round my card. I swiped my antique linen distress oxide pad over it to give it a more aged look.

Using double sided tape on the back of the card, I stuck the lace about one third up from the bottom. I then blended Versafine Clair Monarch ink around the edge of the card. 

Next I glued this to a 7 x 7 inch card blank.

Then I created a panel that is 6 x 3 inches, and using lavender Dina Wakley acrylic paint mixed with a small amount of sapphire acrylic I painted it so it contrasts with the background. I roughed the edges and sanded the paint back and blended Monarch ink around the edges.

I then glued this to the left of my card.

On seperate card I stamped the dancing daisy. I coloued it with milled lavender, shaded lilac, forest moss and antique linen distress oxide ink. I cut it out.

To creare the sentiment,  I inked the words Be your Own and stamped them on to a piece of card. I cleaned the stamp then inked the word cheerleader and stamped it under the other words. I cut it out and roughed the edges and blended Monarch ink around it. I then glued the daisy and sentiment to the card.

Calee CT -Vintage Tag

Hi , this week I have some more vintage inspiration for you with this tag. I have also used various different materials to give added texture . 

My first step was to give the whole tag a vintage colour with distress ink - Vintage Photo , concentrating more on the edges to give them more depth of colour . 

Next I use the Background script Art stamp , with the same ink pad , stamping randomly all over the tag . 

My next step to create more texture was to take a sheet of rice paper and colour this with the same ink , just rubbing it over the sheet until I achieved the colour I wanted .  This was then torn into pieces and glued on to my tag .

I then distress the edges of the rice paper , giving them a curl . 

Next I stamped out a couple of leaves from the  Journaling essentials #7 Momento ink in Pine cone and Distress ink Fossilised Amber . 

Next I gave all of the edges of my tag a distressed feel by scuffing them with a pair of of scissors and them tearing out a couple of notches . 

This was added to with a couple of large coffee stain stamps from the Art stamp set of the same name .

Then taking a piece lace ribbon I gave it a vintage look  colouring it with Vintage Photo Distressed ink . 

The ribbon was the wrapped around my tag a couple of times and the stamped and cut out leaves tucked behind it. 

My next step was to stamp out and colour this bird from the Doodle Art Rainbow Birds stamp set . This I coloured with Ecoline watercolour pens in shades of purple and pink . I also stamped out my sentiment in a similar shade of purple - Distress Villainous Potion . These were then both given a light brushing of Vintage Photo Distressed ink to give them a more vintage tone. 

 Here’s is my finished tag , with the bird added and my sentiment mounted on some corrugated card . I also added a few paper flowers from my crafty stash . 

I hope you like it , I have used a few extra bits and pieces this week from my crafty stash but feel even if you don’t have these , this tag would still work without them . 

Happy crafting

Sally CT - A vintage card

 

Hi There! With our Challenge theme on the Bee Crafty Facebook group being Vintage I thought I would show you how I created this vintage style card. 

I began by blending Vintage Photo Distress ink across a piece of card measuring  4x4" .

Next I randomly stamped patches of the Crackle stamp in Tea Dye distress ink.

I also used the Tea Dye ink to add some shading using the distressed diamonds dinkable. 

After that I added some stamped leaves in the same colour. 

I decided that the background needed some contrasting colour, so added some stamping using Bundled sage and the Journal Art Elements #3 stamp set. 

on a separate piece of card I stamped the large Dandedaisy using Pinecone Versafine clair ink

I coloured it using washable pens and a wet paint brush and cut it out. 

I found a scrap of card that was blended with vintage photo ink, and stamped the sentiment using the Versafine Clair ink on to it, before cutting it out.  

Finally I added the background to an ivory deckle edged card, then added the flower and sentiment using 3d foam pads. 

I used: 

5x5" deckle edged card

4x4" piece of white card

Crackle Background stamp

Mixed leaves stamp set

Journal Art Essentials #3 stamp set

Doodle Art dandedaisy stamp set

Ticker Tape stamp set - I used set 2

Dinkables set 2

Distress ink in Vintage photo, Tea Dye and Bundled Sage

Watercolour medium (I used washable pens) 

versafine clair ink (I used Pinecone)

Hope this inspired you enough to have a go at this month's challenge!

Alison CT - Vintage Painted Gaze

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a vintage page in my art journal using one of the Painted Gaze face images. I felt that the distressed look of the paint would add to the vintage look.

To begin I blended vintage photo distress oxide around the edges of the page. I sprayed water onto my fingers and shook it off onto the inked area and then patted this dry with kitchen roll.

I sponged shapphire Dina Wakley acrylic through the distressed diamonds inkable. I washed my stencil before the paint could dry on it.

When the paint was dry, I cut the collage paper to size and used matte medium to adhere it to the page.

Using just the ink in my blending brush, I blended vintage photo around the edges of the image. As most of the distressed diamonds were hidden, I added some over the image using uncharted mariner distress oxide. 

Next, I used rusty hinge distress oxide to add some perspective dots to the page.

On seperate card I stamped the gerberas and the leaves. I used second generation stamping- stamping, then stamping again without reinking. I coloured the images with distress oxide in mustard seed, rusty hinge and uncharted mariner. I then cut them out.

I added some hessian ribbon to the bottom left corner of the page.

I used matte medium to add the fliwers and leaves over this.

I chose the sentiment from the Wordy Stickers 3 and blended vintage photo distress over them and added a sketchy bordere with a fineliner. 

I added them to the bottom right of the page. 

Heres the finished page again.

A4 Catalyst Collage - Painted Gaze

Calee CT- Vintage Dragonfly

Hi, this week I have a journal page to share with you for my step by step . This month’s challenge theme is Vintage,so I have given my page a vintage feel .

  

My first step was to choose my catalyst collage paper and add it to my journal page , tearing some of the edges for that vintage look . This paper is from the Wing Whispers set . 

Next I added a little Blue Print sketch distressing though this D’inkable from set 12 to echo the blues in the collage paper . I also inked around the edges of my page with  Distress ink Spiced Marmalade to bring all of the colours together . 

To add more of a vintage feel I then went in with some stamping with this Art stamp -Script Background, using Versafine clair in Pinecone .

Then I made two tags one from white card and one from craft card , These I stamped with the same script stamp  . Inking them all over with the Pine Cone ink . To one of them I added some coffee stain stamping , with the small stamps from the Art Stamp coffee stains set . The other I added a small clock from my bit box , This is part of the Art stamps set :Wasted Time . 

Taking a page from an old book ,  I stamped two tape measures from the Art stamps : Stitched Boarders set and cut them out . 

My next step was to add all of these elements to my page.

 

I still needed a focal point for my page , so for this I chose the large dragonfly from the Art Stamps : Dragonfly Set , which I stamped on to the same book page again using the Pine Cone ink pad .Adding a little colour with some water colour paint.

 

With my page nearly complete it was time to add a sentiment, this one is from the Ticker Tape 4 Wordage set.

This I left quite pain and simple , cutting it into 3 pieces to add to my page . Finally I completed my page with a white stitched boarder and a few splatters using a white Posca pen . 

Here is my finished page ,maybe not overly vintage but with a vintage feel . I hope you like my page and it has given you some  inspiration to create some vintage style art work , don’t forget this is our this months challenge theme . 

Happy crafting
