Challenge 24 - Vintage (or at least looks like it)

Happy happy Tuesday dear friends - it's time for another challenge with us at Tuesday Alchemy.  This week our challenge is all about "vintage" or at least it looks like it is vintage.  As some of you already know I love love love vintage.  Makes me smile smile smile.

I created this altered clipboard with a vintage Paris Eiffel Tower theme.  I painted the metal on the clipboard with paint (but I sanded it first).  I wanted it to look really old and worn out.  I found some vintage looking cardstock and just started tearing it in big pieces.  Adhered it to the clipboard and inked all the edges with ink.  Added some brown ribbon, a vintage button and didn't seal this one with any sealant.  I wanted to keep it the way I made it.   I hope you like it and it inspires you to create something of your own.

I also hope you check out all the design teams projects for this challenge - there are amazing!!  Jump in and join us this week and I am really looking forward to seeing what you create.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Flonz, who will be giving one lucky crafter a $20 Store Voucher - WooHoo!!!  But that's not all . . Leo, Flonz's owner, will be picking his favorite creation & that crafter will win a $20 Store Voucher as well!  All the information is listed on our Tuesday Alchemy Blog.  


With hugs and smiles

Laine

    The metal part of it looks like a lot of work--no doubt, very vintage!

Cupcake and a Celebration

Hello Lovely Ladies I hope your weekend has been fabulous thus far.  It's been sunny here with a cool breeze.  It's been a welcome relief from all the cold and rainy days.   Today I am sharing a card I made in celebration of a one year anniversary for Leigh S-B Designs.  She created this cute cupcake image in celebration as well as for a challenge of sorts.  I created my heart shaped card and used lots of Washi tape to create the background.  I all used white Cardstock borders to help break up the color.  I colored the cupcake and the number ONE with Copic's.  Here's the card I created: Leigh congratulations on your first year anniversary.  I hope you have many more.  Your images are wonderful and fun to color. Thanks for stopping by.  It always makes me smile With hugs and smiles Laine
