Vintage Style.

Hi there,

There is not much left of 2017.   For me, this year has positively flown by.    Thought as I became  older, the more time I would have, I worried that I would get bored lol!   ha! ha! that was a silly thought,  no time to get bored lol!    I wonder what 2018 will have in store for us all?    Enough chit chat, it is time for another creation, made for Sue & Harvey of Imagination Craft.   This was made for one of their  Hochanda T.V. shows this November.   I have used some of Imagination's Rice Paper for this card, rice paper no. 232.   I love the designs on this vintage paper,  I can remember my Mother wearing a dress in the same style, such a feminine design, not this colour of course.    O.K.let's get started.

  
Begin by cutting out the part of the rice paper you want on your card front.   Fix this to a square of white card using Imagination's Decoupage glue.   Trim away any excess paper.

Colour some white card with the Mediterranean Sky Starlight Paint and when dry, die-cut four borders using the  Die-Versions border die.   Glue these to the back four edges of the card covered with the rice paper.   Matt this onto the 7" x 7" white base card, leaving a border of white card showing.

Colour a piece of card with the blue Starlight paint and another piece  with the Cyclamen paint.   From these, die-cut three flowers from the blue, using the Memory Box Dies and two from the Cyclamen.    Glue these to the bottom left corner of the base card.   Add some pearl coloured 'Just Pearls' to the centre of each flower.

   
Using the second piece of rice paper, cut out the shoulder wrap and the skirt of the dress.   Glue these onto some white card using the decoupage glue.  

    
When dry, cut them out, trim away any excess card and glue onto the original image on the base card, using silicone glue.

  

   
Cut out the oval with the handbag on it from the rice paper and glue this onto a piece of white card, using the decoupage glue.   Trim away any excess card and glue this on top of the original image on the base card, using silicone glue.

  
Colour a small piece of white card with the blue Starlight paint and another small piece with the cyclamen paint.   Stamp the handbag on each piece using a black ink pad.  

    
Cut out the handbag from the blue card and the front only from the second stamped handbag.   Glue the cyclamen hand bag front to the blue handbag. 

    
Glue this handbag to the right-hand side of the base card.    This card is now finished, hope you like it.     Stay safe and warm in this cold snowy weather.   I will be back again soon.   Take care of yourselves.
