Trying Something New...

by making something old!

I don't typically "do" vintage...

my great friend Theresa does vintage...

quite well...

but

I wanted to do a wall art piece

and the papers I picked

just screamed

VINTAGE...

so I went to it.

I inked the canvas, I inked the papers,

I inked the doilies,

I inked my nightgown

(modge podged it, too---!)

and I inked ME!

Lol!

It was fun--and I am waiting the verdict

from Theresa

on what she thinks...

(I ended up with an even # of roses around the photo...

thinking it might need

a few more in that bottom left corner

to weigh it down some...?)

but here it is..

my first REAL attempt  at VINTAGE...

Whatcha think?

And...here it is AFTER I added more roses!
Now I have a group of cream that should be broken up
but--it's DONE!

The papers are by Lost and Found

the roses are made with the Close to My Heart

Art Philosophy cartridge

(I LOVE making roses with this! Super super easy!)

and our CTMH little pearls adorn the center.

The "memories" letters were in my stash

as was the ribbon

distressing ink and lots of Modge Podge!

I am only a month late with this gals

birthday gift--but I think she'll like it.

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
