Vintage Challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends

The Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge this week is to make a Vintage card.  For my DT inspiration card, I used a new stamp set called "I'm In Stitches"  soon to be released by Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Co.   I love the stamp of the old Sewing Machine and was anxious to ink it up. I stamped it on White CS with Versamark and embossed with Black EP. I colored the metal parts with Silver Pens and then fancy cut the image...that was the hard part! Glad I have good scissors.  I used Brown CS as a base card, attached  a camel colored mat , and then a mat of Digi Paper "Old Paper" downloaded from Graphics Fairy. Before placing the PP mat,  I distressed the edges with a distressing tool and sponged with Distress ink and stamped the sentiment on the top  and the  tape measure across the bottom with Distress Ink. The dress forms were a part of the digi paper.

Supplies:

Stamps: Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. "I'm in Stitches"

Ink: Versamark, DI Brushed Corduroy
EP: Ranger Black Detail
Pens: Metallic Silver and Gold Jelli-ink Pens, Atyou Silver Pen
Papers: MFP's Neutral Paper Pack, Digi Paper from Graphics Fairy

3D Foam Dots

Personal note- I love this stamp set because it reminds me of sewing machines that my mother and grandmother used and a machine  (a collector item, I'm sure) my Aunt Julia gave me a few years before she died.  I decided to pull it out of  its case and share a picture.  The warranty  is dated August 1949.

Please join in the challenge this week for a chance to win a MFP stamp Set. You have until 3PM on Friday June 22, 2012 to post your card. Remember, if you use MFP, a Heinrich Company stamps your name will be entered into the drawing twice. 

Thanks for dropping by. I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge

The Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge this week is to make a card and Heat Emboss the main image.  I decided to use the triple daisy image from MFP's "Oopsy Daisy" stamp set and stamped with Versamark directly on to a pattern paper and heat embossed with a Pearl Embossing Powder. I should have used a darker EP because it is hard to see the embossing in the photo but it looks really good in real life...trust me! I colored the image with Copics and attached to a lustrous CS mat and then to a brown card base. Keeping with the embossing, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versamark and embossed with Chestnut EP. I also stamped the butterfly image with Versamark from the new MFP "Scenic Selections" stamp set and embossed with Black EP, colored with markers and cut out and attached with pop  up dots. Also added brown organza ribbon to finish.
