I was so unsure what to do I called my sister... a bunch of times... from the store for help. I was sending picture texts, she was googling products.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh the stress. Then it turned out fun once I got home and used mostly what I already had. Probably didn't need that trip to the craft store- don't tell hubby that though ;)
So here is my attempt at vintage:
I used Core'Dinations from three lines. Core Amour is the stripes in the background, black magic for the girl and boy, and whitewash for the frame and roses. I am covered in dust!!! I sanded more firmly on the outsides of the striped paper to reveal the underneath design.
The kids are cut from A Child's Year, I seem to be using this a lot lately!
The strip on the bottom is there for one reason... it was my original inspiration and I bought it to make this project. Of course once I started I realized I didn't need it but I am stubborn and bought it for this project so it is here. This strip is Wedding stacked border from Karen Foster Design.
I have a tutorial on how to make the flowers here. They are very simple to make if you haven't done them before I think you will find them a fun easy thing to do.
I am entering this into the following challenges:
You did a really great job!! I have never done anyting vintagie either and I don't use embellishments or lace on any of my projects, but you have inspired me to try something new and I thing A Child's Year Cart. would be perfect for vintage cards or layouts!! Thanks
