Vintage Techniques Blog Hop

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. Today I am hopping with the Technique Tuesday blog hop and this month we are showing techniques of getting the vintage look. This is probably my favourite type of crafting so I was really pleased when I saw this theme. I have used different methods to make different papers look old and vintage.  I use inks and stamps to achieve this. I decided to recreate a card I made in a recent Facebook live and this time make it in a vintage style 

Measurements and Materials

• I used the browns from the Neutrals family and my favourite stamps sets for adding a vintage look
• Very Versailles 
• The script in this set is perfect 
• There are other images but it is mainly the script that I use
• Quite Meadow 
• The spray of dots in the set is great for creating age spots 
•  Ink is applied with 
• Blending brushes 
• Sponge daubers 
• Also by dabbing the ink pad on my glass mat and spraying it with water and then dipping the paper into the ink
• I also used the Timeworn embossing folder and added ink with the blending brush
• For the card I stamped the flower image using 
• Early Espresso
• Soft Suede
• This was to give the image a sepia look which is further enhanced by adding crumb cake with a blending brush and inking the edges of the die cut with Soft Suede ad a sponge dauber

• Card base 
• Half a standard sheet
• 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"
• Score @ 4 1/8" on the long side
• US size card - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2
• Score @ 4 1/4"
• Metric 21cm x 14.5cm
• Score @ 10.5cm 
• Card Ma1 1 -  5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
• US size 5 1/4" x 4"
• Metric 14cm x 10cm
• Card Mat 2 - 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"
