Vintage Trip

Morning all 

I am so pleased its the weekend and the sun is out...........Just a quick post before I go off to the shops. I have inked up one of my new LOTV stamps. Yes I did say that I would try and use all the other stamps that have not seen the ink, but I could not resist this one. 

I have given it the vintage look and distressed the edges with Tim Holttz distress ink. I also distressed the Jute ribbon which started off lemon! 

The flower is made using the EK Success scalloped punch and the sentiment squares are made on the PC and cut out with a small stamp edged punch.

Today's card is green a colour that i do not use very often. I felt that I had to team it up with a little contrasting colour, so used some lemon flowers. I was totally unsure when I was putting it together, but I am pleased with the end result.

I have used another of my own made sentiments.

Jut a quick post today before I dash off to work. This is one I made a couple of weeks ago as a trial for something different. The pictures were difficult to take to show how the card opens, but it folds down the front so that it can close with the image inside or it opens half way with the image on the front.

I just love this stamp, its one of my favourtites, but I have so many favourites it is difficult to get round them all more than once.
