Hello!
It's time for a new challenge here at the Card Concept.
Every two weeks we post a new inspiration photo challenge.
Each designer chooses a different style of card to make!
All of the styles are explained HERE.
You can use any of the styles we have defined or create your own with a combination of styles. This week I chose Shabby and Vintage.
- the use of used, worn or inexpensive components to make stylish goods
- distressed or sponged edges
- old feel-antiqued
- lots of embellishments
- ribbons or lace
- lots of layers
I was inspired by the rustic heart in the challenge photo
I began by creating my background. I sponged Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress inks onto some Tim Holtz water color paper. I stamped different images onto the sponged panel.
I stamped and heat embossed three hearts with bronze embossing powder. I used my Prima Metallic watercolor cakes and added color to the centers of the hearts. They look really cool IRL. I attached the hearts to a piece of torn and sponged vellum. And finally added some twine and a tag.
I hope you will be inspired to join us here at
And don't forget to visit my very talented team mates to for some awesome inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by!
