Vintage Woman Card

Went back to the April 2017 SMAK kit and the original image that drew me to it! I actually ended up using 4 stamps from this kit. I also pulled out a Market 49 paper collection I haven’t tied yet!

To begin, I selected a paper with a fern on it on the right side. I then used the branches image and stamped using my Misti the left side. I then pulled the girl and used a Rich Cocoa Memento ink to stamp her in the middle, again using my Mist to get a dark enough image.

Pulling out the Prismacolor pencils I thought would go, I colored in the face and hand, turned to the dress and then the hair. I also added color to the butterfly. I added a little brown and white pen detail and called it done.

I then started looking at how to construct the card. I decided to use an ephemera tag I had at the top. I then fussy cut images from the Market 49 paper. I stamped the sentiment on the envelope image and used a tiny splatter dots stamp from the kit to add some red color. I also added Red color to the birds image. I used Distress Oxides on the edges of all the pieces.

To complete the card, I used cream cardstock and a sheet of Kraft cardstock as a base layer. I then layered all the pieces, adding green and cream twine, a pale pink flower, prills in her hair to match the flower center and matching sequins.

Hope you like vintage, as this one has it in spades! Thanks for stopping by!
