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.

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 

Calee

Sally CT - Vintage Vibes

 

Hi there! It's time for a new challenge over in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group so here is a little inspiration to get you started on our theme, which is Vintage

I began by smooshing Vintage Photo and Speckled Egg Distress oxide onto a coaster sized piece of Mixed media card. 

Next I used the crackle background stamp to add some more vintage photo ink. 

Using matte medium I added a few pieces of book page, then used a tag inkable to add a little more speckled egg ink. 

I also added some stamping in vintage photo ink 

Once I was happy I added a spray or two of Distress spritz in Weathered wood. 

I used a small strip of Ledger Catalyst card, edged with brown ink to create a border across the centre. 

On a separate piece of paper I stamped the smaller Dandedaisy 3 times in Portobello ink. 

I used distress ink to paint in the colour before cutting them out. 

Finally I stuck them to the coaster, along with a lightly inked wordy sticker, and finished off by adding a little shadow around the flowers with Black ink and a wet brush. 

I used:

Dandedaisy stamp set

Crackle Background stamp

Journal Art Elements 3 stamp set

Tag inkables set 1

Alison CT - Beautiful

Hi everyone,  today I'm sharing an art journal page created using the A5 Catalyst Collage papers with some of the Transparency Prints. 

I began by painting my page with Kuretake Gansai Tambi granulating watercolours. I left this to dry.

Whilst waiting I cut out the image from the Catalyst Collage paper that I wanted to use.

When the background was dry, I added the alternate circles inkable using spiced marmalade and mustard seed distress oxide and some of the splats inkable using mermaid lagoon distress oxide. I wanted to add colours from her hair to the page.

Next, I chose the transparencies I wanted to use and cut them out.

I used matte medium to attach the intertwined circles strips to either side of the page.

Then I added the face.

I added the numbers and the circles to the centre of the largest five flowers.

Next I used matte medium to glue the three words to white card. I did this because they got lost in the background on their own. I cut them out.

Finally I glued the words to the page.

Products used:

Kuretake Gansai Tambi granulating watercolour paint 

Alternate Circles inkable

Splats inkable

A5 Catalyst Collage Rainbow Thoughts

Transparency Prints - alpha numbers, beautiful and brave, faces 4, sketchy birds and journaling essentials 

Distress oxide - mustard seed, spiced marmalade, mermaid lagoon
