Vintage Old Friend


Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Did you see all the great new vintage stamps from Technique Junkies this month?  I've used three of them on this card today, but I used some very non-vintage colors for the background.

I stamped the beautiful new Vintage French Advertisements background with some permanent black ink and let it dry.  I also stamped the sentiment from the You're Vintage set with the same black ink and let it dry.  I pulled out some distress inks (Wild Honey, Cracked Pistachio, and Salvaged Patina) and randomly brushed them on over the background.  Then I sprayed some water into my hand and flicked it over the background.  

I punched out some butterflies from white cardstock and stamped them with some of the stamps from the Grunge Circles set using the Wild Honey distress ink.  I also brushed some of that honey ink onto the edges of the butterfly wings.  Then I adhered the sentiment and the butterflies to the background and added some black pearls to the centers of the butterflies.

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You'll save 10% off your order, so stock up on some of the new stamps, the gorgeous Shimmering Bliss sprays, stencils, ink pads, and glitter pens.  Have a wonderful day!
