Vintage Wallpaper- Day Three Of Release

Vintage Wallpaper is a new and wonderful companion to the Thinking of You set released a few months ago. Vintage Wallpaper is just the right image to give a finished background look that keeps the "feel" of the card, well vintage.

If you take a look at the close up you are able to notice in more detail the vintage background. I stamped with castaway on a dark brown piece of card stock from my stash.

Castaway alters the color of paper when it is heated with an iron. This is actually the test piece of paper, I had never used Castaway before so I tested it first. The paper I thought I would use did not turn out so.........instead of throwing my "test" away I made a card around a brown and yellow color scheme.

I cut ovals using Spellbinders classic ovals, colored direct to polymer on the Thinking Of You image, and because you can see though polymer stamps I was able to center my image with no trouble. The sentiment was added with ease too. Wouldn't this be the perfect time to add a little flower soft to the floral designs of this set?

The finishing touches are a new loop cord (soon to be adding to Flourishes site) and the flower button. Whomever receives this card will get a special piece of family heirloom, to me my moms button box holds our clothing history. My mother made many of my clothes when I was growing up, she saved a lot of the buttons from that clothing when they could no longer be worn. Today I found this button in a "treasure box" of my granddaughters all the bits and pieces she "picks up" when she stays at my moms. I do not know how old this button is, but some of them are 60 years old. I just might have to put this card away and save it for my GD when she is in need of it.

Well I degrees,
After working with Jenni Bowlin 4 x 4 papers, I found I liked that size. And Flourishes has envelopes in a size to fit. Now I did not use JB on this card I just cut my Basic Grey down to size. I also decorated the 4.25 x 4.24 envelope with one of the images from Thinking Of You.
All layers were adhered to a vanilla card base.

Recipe:
Paper; White, Basic Grey Urbain Prairie, brown card stock, vanilla and rose red card stock.
Ink; SU markers & ink pad
Ribbon; cream loop cord
Button; my Mothers button box by way of my granddaughters stash.
