Vintage at Allsorts

Good morning, time for another challenge at Allsorts and this week Tracy Mouse is going all 'Vintage'. Our sponsors are Jiggery Makery and Jessica Lynn Originals.

It's been a fabulous week with our Allsorts Birthday challenge and the winner of the Tattered Lace £50 voucher can be found on my post of last evening on the challenge blog. The DT's offering prizes will announce winners on their own blogs and the winners of my Tattered Lace dies are:

Mrs A (ValeryAnne)

and

Rhonda

Well done to you both, please mail me with your full names and postal addys.

Now onto my artwork, I recall a discussion in blogland a few years ago when it was being debated if Vintage had to be tones of brown and dusky pinks as that seems to be the perceived idea, but I think since that time it's been accepted that Vintage can be any colour, it's more the style of the piece that reflects the style, well that's certainly the road I am going down with one on my pieces today.

So following that principal my first card is blues and greens with a touch of brown thrown in for good measure. It's actually a card I made some time ago for Stamp Addicts but I never did get round to blogging it so today seemed like a good opportunity. 

The background is of course Dylusions and stenciled grunge paste, some random stamping and splattering's of frantage along with SA clock and retro flowers, seed beads in the flower centers and seam binding.

But just in case I made a second card in browns and pinks, distressed the DP which is a piece from my stash and used some hessian across the card. I coloured the lace and seam binding with distress inks, cut two hears using Tattered Lace essential hearts, some roses, pearls and TL Cherish sentiment.

Happy weekend all.
