Dictionary challenge

The latest Letter of the Craft Barn dictionary challenge is V (no twist) and I chose Vintage. Before you think Vintage images, lace, Victorian, distressed... no not this time! There are many meanings attached to the word and Vintage is both a noun and an adjective. Here is the complete dictionary definition if you're interested, but for space purposes on my pageI have only printed my chosen meaning.




I have used a single stamp set from the magazine Creative Stamping (at least a year old if I remember correctly) and black Versafine.
I coloured the images with watercolour pencils (Stabilo) and a water brush.

The stamps are acrylic and do not stamp well if not "prepared", which I did, with a light sanding of the top surface. But considering how cheap they work out they were a good buy for a theme I am not going to use regularly and I would recommend them for a beginner to dip in the stamping waters.

So Vintage done, only 5 letters to go...
Thanks for coming by,

    Wonderful take on the theme. Fabulous card. I was interested in that you had to sand the acrylic stamps. Not heard of that before.

    I swear, this definition of vintage is truly new to me. I adore the way you used a wine bottle and glass and turned it into a CAS as well as the perfect V word. Color me impressed!

    A beautifully coloured CAS page. When I saw the thumbnail for some reason my first thought was 'in vino veritas'.
