A Vintage Note

Hello, friends!

It's creative team member Walter on the I Brake for Stamps blog today.  I'm a fan of vintage items and design, especially things like old photos, newsprint, magazines, etc.  I have a lot of fun thinking about how to take stamps or dies and turn them into something that looks older and aged, and that's exactly what I did for my latest creative team design, A Vintage Note.

Here's what I used to make this card:

• Just Messy Floral Sheet from I Brake for Stamps
• Handwriting stamp from Hero Arts Mix Textures Stamp Set
• Spellbinders Deckled Edge Dies
  
• Sizzix Embossing Ink
• Ranger Vintage Pearl Embossing Powder
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo
• Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains: Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Bundled Sage

I love the look of the embossed colored roses against the ivory card stock, grunge, and separate rose.

 And the light writing adds just a little bit of additional interesting detail.

I hope that you enjoy A Vintage Note and learning a little more about my inspiration for it.  You may learn more about my creative process on my blog.
