Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #84: Vintage Love

It's time for the new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers and this challenge has been set by the extremely talented Kylie. As Valentine's Day is fast approaching she has chosen the theme "Vintage Love". 

So we would like to see creations incorporating a vintage love theme. Your project MUST be VINTAGE and SHOW at least one object that potrays love. Perhaps a picnic basket, gold locket, love letters, hearts etc. Kylie has included some photos on the Crafty Cardmakers blog to help inspire you.

As always we have some fabulous prizes on offer from our brilliant sponsor companies.

Hobby Art

with these two gorgeous stamps 

 

So here is my creation for the theme:

 Kanban - Romantic Couple

Indigo Blu - Truly, Madly, Deeply and Script Background

Stampin' Up! - Tiny Tags

Distress Inks - Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Brushed Corduroy, Walnut Stain

and Old Paper

Brilliance Ink Pads - Galaxy Gold 

Rangers Liquid Pearls - Gold Pearl

DCWV - The Metallic Stack

 Buckle - WRMK, Ribbon - Papermania, Flowers - Dovecraft, pins from stash

The background card was created  using the "Wrinkle Free Distress" technique then over stamped with both the Script Background and the Truly, Madly, Deeply stamps. I used the same technique on the piece of card I used for the main image. I then stamped the Romantic Couple stamp using Vintage Sepia versamark. The male was coloured with DI's, for the female I allowed the background to act as material for her dress. The flowers were plain white which I coloured with DI's and their centres were created with Liquid Pearls. The background and image were matted with gold DCWV card. Finally, I added a small tag, the ribbon, buckle and pins.
