Hello Everyone,
I'm stopping by to share my DT post for Time Out current challenge #249 where the theme is Vintage. I really struggled with this theme ;) and finally came out with this Vintage card using Honey Bee Stamps "Just my type" stamps set.I am not completely satisfied with this card..😁.there are so many things "I used and I did" for the first time in this card...and most of things I don't know why I added.. I was just going with the flow..😁
Over to my version of Vintage card...
I can't wait to see how you get inspired.
Thank you so much for stopping by!!

To create this card, I started with an A2-sized white card base and added a page from an old book which I die cut out using Crealies "on the edge" dies. There's a fascinating story behind this particular book: During the summer of 2020, while wandering through Heidelberg, Germany, I stumbled upon it outside someone's house on the street. Its yellowed pages gave me vintage vibes and immediately I picked it up thinking one day I will use it... Now, three years later, I'm thrilled to be putting it to use. It feels quite surreal. 😊
Let's move on, after adhering the die cut out book page at an angle, I ink blended the whole card base using "Vintage Photo" distress inks (used this ink pad for the first time). And then stencilled it using Sheena's decorative stencil "Eiffel Tower" (again It's worth noting that this is the first time I've used it, having purchased it from the Doncaster Craft Fair during our stay in 2017. 😁). I hope you can see the Eiffel tower in the background. Then I splattered this card with water to add some interest to this Vintage card.
Meanwhile, I stamped this Vintage Typewriter stamp, colored it with Alcohol Markers and fussy cut it. I stamped the hearts from same Honey Bee Stamps "Just my type" randomly on the card base and adhered the typewriter using foam tape along with washi tape.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment on White strip using those tiny wooden mount Rubber alphabets ( I don't know why I bought it at first place back in 2016 from Hobbycraft, UK, finally using it...😆) where I inked the edges of the white strip with distress inks. I added some tiny die cut out hearts to complete this card.
You see, how much I dig in to my Craft stash to create this Vintage card.
I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#249 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by Doodle Bugs and the Challenge winners will receive 25$ credit from Doodle Bugs Website.
I can't wait to see how you get inspired.

Your stash digging was well worth the effort Deepti! A lovely vintage card - so many interesting details! Love it! Hugs, Kate!
ReplyDeleteSo..so cool! I really love your take! The little elements you brought together, work wonderfully. I know it is not your usual style, not your Type (wink) but believe me.. it's so cool, looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteDeepti... this is so cute. Just yesterday I was looking at my Smith Corona typewriter, wondering if I should get rid of it. It is still in the closet so it can be pulled out sometimes for funky sentiments and forms! Love the how you did the background note paper... very fun.
ReplyDeleteYou are way too hard on yourself, Deepti! Your take on vintage is fantastic. I love the story about the book that you found, that you saved it, and it has finally made its debut. It is the perfect stage for the wonderful cast of details you added. It's so creative and so wonderful. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteA lovely vintage card with lots of fabulous elements too. Thanks for sharing at Allsorts this week.

Your card is so fun Deepti and you should be really happy with it if you ask me! You have combined such beautiful, fun and cute elements together and the colors are perfect for vintage. Well done!! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad all the things you've picked up from here and there have finally made it to a card, Deepti. And what a fantastic card it is. So many wonderful elements. I used to have a set of tiny alphabet stamps but could never get them to line up right. They worked perfectly along with your typewriter.
