Vintage Vogue friends

Hello friends! The Pink Elephant posted a great sketch challenge this week that I had to play along with! I love the different layers of this sketch!

I also made this card for a Friendship Challenge at the Cupcake Craft Challenge blog!!! The Stampin' Up! Vintage Vogue stamp set is just perfect for friendship themed cards I think!!! It's a beautiful set and one of the first ones I bought that were the new Clear Mount stamps! You can click here to learn more about these new, easy to use stamps!! I'm sure enjoying mine and I know you will too, PLUS they are cheaper than the Wood Mount, which is fantastic!


Stampin' Essentials Tips:
  • The beautiful Designer Series Paper I used is the super cool blog candy I won from the Stampin' Royalty challenge blog! It's part of the Lovely Flowers Bundle Level 3 Hostess set on page 18 of the Idea Book and Catalog!
  • The colors in the papers were my inspiration for color choices: Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, and Melon Mambo!!!
  • I added a touch of bling to my card with the Circle Fire Rhinestone brads! These cuties come in three different sizes, and I loved parading them down the side of my card from largest to smallest! To line them up, I used my Paper-Piercing tool and Mat Pak template! Here's a hint on spacing: there are {3} holes from the large to medium brad, and {2} holes between the medium and small brad (on the template) - hopefully that makes sense!
  • To add some vintage to my papers and card stock, I inked the edges of every sheet of paper for a distressed look and dimension using my ink pads. I coordinated each color depending on the color of paper and/or card stock!
  • My friends stamp was first stamped in Old Olive ink, then again in Rich Razzleberry ink! I cut out just the 'F' from the Rich Razzleberry stamped image and adhered it on top the Old Olive image with Stampin' Dimensionals!!!
