I do love a vintage look and so many very arty people do some wonderful work which I am in awe of. So I dug out one of my old vintage style stamps ...another eBay find, and got to work....whether the result is vintage or arty is in the eye of the beholder...lol!!...but I've had a try at it.

A lovely sketch over at Mojo Monday, their no. 89 and a contest.
The beautiful sunny weather got me and I just had to use this stamp which I've had for a while because I love the picture. But it has come into it's own with the sunshine. I used some thin cork to mat the image and for below the rik-rak to look like sand.

Paper - Kay & Co 'Vacation'
Colouring medium - ProMarkers
Thin cork used at bottom of card - Magenta
Base card, rik-rak, charm and sentiment tag from my stash.

Mojo Monday

Another great sketch over at Mojo Monday Challenge week 79.
Actually tried something new for this.
I cut and embossed a Nestabilities Curved Rectangle out of a piece of watercolour paper and using a Hero Arts 'Showy Blossom' stamp coloured straight to stamp with Marvy pens and sprayed with Moonglow Glitz Spritz and stamped onto the rectangle. Unfortunately the scan doesn't pick up the sparkle in the image but it looks great.
Everything was mounted up using Kay & Co. 'Hopscotch' papers and misc. white card.
Ribbon out of my stash and the dots were added with a pen along the scalloped edge.
The Love sentiment is a mini tag by Making Memories.

Follow Your Dreams

This card was my take on the wonderful sketch this week at Mojo Monday - this was Contest Week 76.
The image used was, as usual, from my collection of swapped images that I am determined to plough through. It was coloured with Sakura Gelly Rol pens and mounted behind a lilac mulberry paper frame which I overstamped with Rubber Stampede 'Pressed Sprig' in Impress Dye Ink Pad 'Old Rose'. This was then mounted on a strip of deep rose coloured card by DCWV. Lilac spotted satin ribbon from my stash. The lilac paper used behind this and on top of another piece of DCWV card was Basic Grey 'Lilykate'.
The row of rose pink Crystal gems along the bottom were either side of a sentiment by PSX.
The colours have been bleached by the scan which is a shame as they look quite nice in real life and match perfectly.

Mojo Monday #74

 

Enjoyed this immensely until coming to scan it and, of course, it wouldn't because of the pearl in the middle of the flower. My photography is appalling to say the least, but at least my card is here to show that I accomplished the task.
The stamp was Elzebels which was coloured with Sakura gel pens. The papers were Basic Grey 'Lilykate' everything else from my stash.
I'm now getting fed up of my style and papers and feel I want to go for a cleaner look of card. Never satisfied. Maybe it's because everything I am using is old, old, old. I cannot warrant the spending of precious pennies on new and original when I have so much unused stash on my shelves. Anyone else feel the same?
Still, as long as I am crafting, who cares. lol!!
