Happy Wednesday and Hump Day...I hope you are enjoying your week thus far. It has been a tough week for our family, as my MIL has been sick and has been hospitalized, but thankfully she is stable, and hopefully on the mend towards good health. Needless to say, I have fallen behind in my crafting, but I did manage to make a card for this weeks
Stampotique Designers challenge. This weeks challenge hostess is
France and her challenge is vintage, and here is what she had to say:
"‘Hello
lovely Stampotiquers,
Lots
of us get so excited when we get our hands on an old ledger, old books, or old
family photos even from people we don’t know. But those are often hard to come
by, or very expensive.
Because
of that, lots of us became very agile in making new things look old. Using
inks, paper distressing tools and yummy techniques.
How
about we combine all that love for all things vintage and all those yummy
techniques with our favorite stamps, to create a vintage looking Stampotique
piece?
Can’t
wait to see where that leads you! Ready? Create!’"
Well, I am not a vintage type crafter, but I was thrilled to give this challenge a try. I am pretty sure my project barely qualifies as "vintage", but I did try to use muted colors, and I distressed everything to give it an old feel. I used
Dog Family, and
Happy Birthday to You stamps on my project. I hope you get to join us for this weeks challenge, and come see what gorgeous creations the DT has come up for this weeks challenge.....Have a great day and enjoy every minute!
