For my card, I decided to have some fun with a retired Stampin' Up Stamp Set. I want to push out of my comfort zone and try my hand at making some distressed or vintage cards but I always seem to prefer clean lines...no tattered edges here! I used some lace and a sticker sentiment from SRM Stickers. I stamped the images from Stampin' Up (a retired set) onto watercolour paper and then I coloured the images with distress inks...very loosely and with a sponge. Then I add some lace and the ribbon...the little flowers were stamped onto Copic white paper and coloured with Copic markers. Then I cut them out and popped them up. True to the inspiration, I had to add some pearls!
The design team have created some inspiration to get you in the crafting mood! Come and join us! Our weekly winner will be our next Guest Designer! So come and join the fun!
