Vintage
For my vintage card I used one of my favorite Flourishes sets,
Old Tea Rose - the beautiful flower image is coloured with copics
and sponged lightly with Ranger Distress Frayed Burlap to
"age" or tone down the colours for a more vintage hue.
I masked the flower and sponged using a lattice stencil while
the oval was still in the die, then splattered the whole panel
with a little bit of Dylusions ink spray and a paintbrush.
Here's a closer look:
The edges of the butterfly are embossed with gold ink to pick up on the
gold of the cord. I've been hoarding a little jar of vintage buttons
that I got at St. George's Market in Belfast, and this seemed to be the
perfect time to pick out a small gold button as the finishing touch for the butterfly!
Thank you so much for stopping by today,
I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!

Beautiful card. Your colouring of the rose is gorgeous and I love the stencilled background and the splatters.
I love the colours of your gorgeous vintage card, Bridget. And although I still haven't used mine, this is one of my favourite stamp sets. Such a beautiful butterfly, too x

What a great technique that you used here. I love that stamp set, one that I will put on my wish list. Thanks for the close up, you put a lot of detail in this one.
Oh, so beautiful, Bridget! I just love this image, and Iove how you've used these colors and the lattice stencil to add some wonderful depth and interest. What a gift God has given you to create such beauties! Hugs for the new year! Love, Cheryl

Your rose is just divine! You have given it just the perfect amount of 'vintage' treatment. Thanks for sharing.
The colors are so beautiful, I love yellow. Beautiful!
Wonderful background on your focal image.
Wow! This is beyond gorgeous, Bridget! The way you colored the rose and background is amazing.
Loving the greens and yellows, fabulous stitching and beautiful lace. Great accents with that gold cord under the pretty butterfly and topped with that fantastic gold button. YOWZA! :)
Green and yellow are two of my favorite colors always make. Great combo. I've never used stencils in my paper crafting; may haveto start, add dimension.
All the elements of this card are absolutely gorgeous. Love the techniques you used. For a moment I thought the flower was fussy cut. Well done.
This is so cheerful! Love the colors and the detail, that button is perfect on the butterfly! TFS!
I love your colors and how you used spray and distress inks along with Copics. A really cool way to combine techniques!
Bridget, I am almost speechless....your card is incredible! I think this may be my favorite one I have seen you make....I love the background on your beautiful bloom, your coloring is exquisite! As gorgeous as this is on the screen, I can hardly imagine how wonderful it is IRL..that is going to one very lucky recipient! Lovely, lovely work! :)
Gorgeous--I like the butterfly and the lace trim.
