Don't you love January... After Christmas and crafty sales there is new stash to be tried and played with, yeah!! Hence the theme of the Vintage Stamping Challenges this month.
My new stash is the Tonic Studio Twined Lily Square Die set, although the Flonzcraft stamp I used is also on its first outing. It's Drinking Tea, also available in the Art Nouveau Silhouettes sheet. Don't you love the oh so delicate details?
I die-cut my frame twice, once with black Core'dination and once with white cardstock, using the white inside for my stamping.
For the backing I used a Melissa Frances 6x6 paper and inked the edges with Distress inks.
A punched border from pink dotty paper (Martha Stewart) and an ivory ric-rac die-cut provide a bit of a colour contrast whilst a sheer ribbon bow adds that finishing touch for this very feminine card.
I hope this inspires you to pull out your stamping stash and to show us at Vintage Stamping Challenges what new supplies have excited you. You could win a $20 voucher to splurge at Flonzcraft, our lovely sponsor, and your make doesn't need to be Vintage... it just needs to showcase some stamping (rubber, clear, foam etc...) but NO digis.
Thanks for coming by,

I'm a big fan on silhouette stamps Christine and that new die is rather lovely, the little hints of pink peeking through really draw the eye.

J'adore ce tampon moi aussi. Ta carte est très belle Christine... J'aime beaucoup la manière dont tu as placé ton ruban, comme un rideau ou voile retombant sur ces deux jeunes femmes ou cachant partiellement la scène, l'effet est superbe!! Bisous
