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!

Blessings and Thankfulness

Hello dear sweet friends - As some of you already know I had a different post here earlier today.  I have moved that post to my Life Lessons from Hercules Blog which I have been wanting to start for quite some time now.  And so, if you feel so inclined - you can check out my new blog and let me know what you think. (For this card I wanted to use my scraps of paper and other embellishments that are over six months old.  And I achieved that by using the brown lace and butterflies.  In fact, they are almost a year old and I have just been saving them for something special.   With hugs and smiles Laine I am also submitting this card to the following challenges: Twist of Faith Challenge #10 - A Sketch Challenge Craft Door Magazine - Challenge #43 Anything Goes Paper Take Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes Lady Anne's Challenges - Anything Goes Stampin Sisters in Christ - Challenge 164 Challenges for Everybody - #6 Sta...
