Just My Type - Vintage Collage - Colour INKspiration Challenge #147

 



Hello and welcome!  Thanks for stopping by.

Colour INkspiration Challenge #147 has kicked off and our colour palette for this Challenge gave me serious shabby chic/vintage vibes.  Our inspiration photo was chosen by fellow Crew Member, Nikki Spencer.  I can't wait to go and see what everyone has created.

Just My Type Stamp Set has recently come into my possession and I wanted to use this as the hero for my project. The typewriter image was stamped and fussy cut.  The page image was stamped separately along with the heart and also fussy cut then layered with all the other lovely details to the top of the card.

Along with the colours for this Challenge, I also used Early Espresso cardstock and ink in my card as we're allowed to include neutrals and metallics as per Challenge Rules. 

SUPPLIES:

  • Stamp Sets:  Just My Type  Gorgeously Made
  • Dies:  Delightful Doily, Paper Florist, Gorgeously Made 
  • Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Copper Clay, Pool Party
  • Embellishment/Trim:  Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins, Linen Thread
  • Masks:  Foursquare
  • Tools:  Paper Trimmer, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Blending Brushes
  • Adhesive:  Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid Glue

Let's Make It:

  • Create a card base using Very Vanilla cardstock. 
  • Trim a piece of Copper Clay cardstock was trimmed to allow a 5/8" (1.5cm) border on all four sides.  Using the filligree design, mask over the full piece using Copper Clay ink.
  • Mount this onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock allowing a tiny 1/16" (3mm) border on all four sides.  Glue this to the card front.
  • Die-cut a large doily from Pool Party cardstock and glue this to the front.
  • Die-cut a strip of Very Vanilla measuring approx 2" wide and just a smidge shorter than the length of the Copper Clay cardstock using the notebook page die on one side and the ripped edge on the other.  Stamp in fourth generation Early Espresso along the 'ripped' edge.



  • Glue this over towards the right side of the card front on top of the doily.
  • Stamp the typewriter and page images in Early Espresso and fussy cut.  Stamp the heart in Lost Lagoon.  Add Dimensionals to the back and attach to the card front.
  • Die-cut two flowers and small flower centres from Paper Florist Dies in Very Vanilla.  Attach the smaller one with a glue dot first.
  • Create a bow from Linen Thread and attach this above the first flower with a Glue Dot.
  • Attach the larger flower over the knot of the bow.
  • To finish the front, add three copper sequins to the front to add some sparkle.
