Let's check out my card shall we?

Vintage isn't my normal style but these images just spoke to me and seemed like the perfect fit!  I also couldn't resist making another slimline card.

I changed the color of the images to be a dark brown, sized them down and printed them out onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I used the smallest die from Trinity Stamps Scalloped Card Panels set to cut out the image layer.  I mounted it onto a piece of dark brown cardstock just slightly larger than the white piece.  

I also changed the color of the sentiment (from She Said Tea) and printed it onto Neenah cardstock.  I took a scrap piece of the white cardstock and colored it using the Trinity blending brush and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink.  I cut the white piece down with my cutter and glued it to the Walnut Stain piece.  I put a bit of foam tape on the back and adhered it to the card.

I set that panel aside and got to work on the rest.  I used a digital paper from Graciellie Design and printed it out onto Neenah cardstock.  I cut it down to 8 3/4" x 3 1/2".  I grabbed the Trinity blending brush and Walnut Stain ink pad and went around all of the edges.  I found some natural colored twine in my stash I wanted to use but it was a little too bright for my taste.  I just used the blending brush and the Walnut Stain ink and ran it over the twine.  I only wanted to make it look a bit distressed so I didn't add tons of color.  I wrapped it around the coffee paper three times and used tape on the back to hold it in place.

I created a dark brown card base that measuere 8 3/4" x 3 3/4" when folded.  I added foam tape to the back of the coffee paper before adding it to the brown base.  I also added foam tape to the white panel before adding it to the card.

I felt the white panel was too "clean" so I splattered on some of the Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I just smooshed some onto and acrylic block, added water and grabbed a paint brush.  To finish up the card I added a few drops of Dark Walnut Nuvo Crystal drops.

Thanks for stopping at my little crafty corner of the web!
