A little bit of Vintage

Brenda our design team leader at Penny Black at Allsorts sent each team member a kit to make a vintage card. The kit included beautiful papers, flowers, ribbon and a clock face with hands and some hinges. I used an 8x8 kraft card, distressed the paper edges, cut my ribbon and lace to length, I searched out an old Penny Black stamp I have had for years and stamped my image twice, die cut two flourish shapes and decided on my layout. I coloured my image with aquamarkers and cut out and coloured my second image to layer on top. I coloured the three white flowers with a Sepia aqumarker to make them blend in with the card. I assembled my card and ruffled the ribbon across the lace. I cut the ends off the hinges and slid them just underneath the papers. I love the finished result.

Aquamarker colours  used :-

 royal purple, wisteria, straw yellow, flame red, gold ochre, spring green and celery. The shades are muted due to my image being stamped on cream card.
