Vintage Make A Wish


Hello friends. I spent most of the weekend in front of the heater watching the Olympics and making cards, one of my favourite combos. I made a total of 5 cards yesterday, I was on a roll, and so will post them up later this week. But today I have a vintage style card for you which was inspired by my recent addiction - Game of Thrones - a fantasy medevil style drama series. Anybody watch it? Steve and I got through 2 seasons in a month and we didn't want it to end; it was full of intrigue, amazing sets and scenes, and a good bit of eye candy.

Ahhhm back to crafting. The card base is Rich Razzleberry, then a layer of Blushing Bride which has gone through the Big Shot Embossing Folder Vintage Wallpaper design. LOVE the SU embossing folders! The main feature of the card is the Medallion stamp which was coloured up using a two tone technique. I inked the stamp in Blushing Bride Ink then used a wet wipe to remove the colour in certain spots. I used my daubers to add Razzleberry ink to the inner and outer parts of the stamp, did a HUFF breath to re-moisten the ink and voila! A multi coloured image! The card was finished with a gorgeous Vintage Brad, ribbon, pearls and simple greeting.

I love this colour combo but sadly Blushing Bride is retiring at the end of August, along with Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait and Poppy Parade.... So let me know if you'd like some cardstock, ink, marker, re-inker or ribbon in any of these colours as they may sell out soon. The Autumn Winter Mini finishes tomorrow 31st July so let me know if you want to order anything from it. 

Have a great week and go the Aussies! So proud!
