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

I also use some white and craft card for the tags and a white Posca pen for adding  details and splatters .
