Hello Again, jumping right into this weeks card. I love the look of vintage cards and layouts but I have a very difficult time achieving the look. This is my latest attempt. Kinda close. I started by using a border leaf stamp with Versamark ink and stamped the border repeatedly down the cardstock to create the background. Next I stamped and colored the glass canning jar. The lid and label were stamped separately onto patterned paper and hand cut to layer over the jar. Note to self: Pick up the jar dies :-) The key to vintage is in the layers. With this in mind, I added a doily and matching plum ribbon. The focal point felt like it still needed something so I added the tail of a paper ribbon peeking out behind the jar in yellow.
My Grandmother's 90th Birthday is next week and this card is heading her direction. I layerd a little on the inside as well. Hope she likes it.
Now, I'm off to work on this weeks layout. I have the papers picked out but still need to look through the photos. And, I have a few ideas floating around the old noggin for Christmas cards I still need to work on for March. Till next week.....
