Vintage "Faithful Friend" card

Happy Sunday!

Today I am sharing a vintage style friendship card.  The stamped image (JustRite's Rose Postcard Background Stamp) was colored using Distress Inks and Ranger's Waterbrush.  Stickles was applied to the leaves and Crackle applied to the roses.  (I beginning to realize that I have an addiction to Crackle.)

The bottom of the card front was die cut using Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One.  Both the card base and image background were made from kraft card stock.  Distress inks (Old Paper and Vintage Photo) were applied along the edges.

The inside was stamped using Quietfire's Always Be My Friend stamp set:

Another look at the outside.  

I totally forgot to mention this yesterday: Quietfire Design is having a sale!  Summary: Spellbinders are 30% off (except Becca Feeken dies) with free shipping on $70 minimum.  Decorative-scrapbook paper is 35% off.  Gotta love sales!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I do hope you are having a good Sunday.
Big Hugs,

Graphic 45 and JustRite Rose Postcard

Happy Sunday All!

Last night I played with a new JustRite background stamp- Rose Postcard.  I stamped the background using Memento's Rich Cocoa ink.  The roses and butterfly were colored using TH distress markers.  The background was painted using watered down TH Tumbled Glass stain.  Antique Linen was applied to the entire image and was die cut using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics.  Glossy Accents was applied to the roses.  The butterfly was stamped and colored again on another sheet of paper, fussy cut, then applied to the image.  Stickles applied for fun.  :)

Graphic 45 paper (Sweet Sentiments) was cut using Spellbinders 5x7 Detailed Scallops.  Ivory paper was also cut using the smallest die from the set and "Cherish" from JR set Botanical Medallions and Banners was stamped in Rich Cocoa.  TH ink Tattered Rose was applied.  TH distress ink Vintage Photo was applied at will.  The lovely corners?  Spellbinders Gold Corner Sets One with Tattered Rose applied.  The middle of the bow is an antique button my mom gave me a while ago...just had to be used on this card.  (Thanks, Mom!)

The inside is more Graphic 45 cut to size and another ivory die cut from Detailed Scallops.  The sentiment is also from JR set Botanical Medallions and Banners.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
