I love this set because it is so vintage looking. IN this card I used a monochromatic technique which requires different shades of one color. Here I selected the brown family using Tip Top taupe, crumb cake and soft suede. The image is stamped on Very Vanilla card stock. The set can be found on page 22 of the HC.
Now this really surprised me. My husband selected this card (from Guy Greetings page 41 of the OC), as one of his favorites. I generally let him see the cards that I create if I do a whole bunch together. I ask him which ones he likes the best and, out of 11 cards, he picked this as number 3. Now, you might think that would be normal because it is a very masculine card. However, Jack usually like cards with lots of bright colors. He is himself an artist so he is very good with colors and usually stays away from monochromatics like this vintage card. Actually the only color on this card is from the gold sequins I attached to the card at the last minute because I thought it needed it. What do you think? In addition I used Crystal Effects on the 3D hats, although it is hard to tell from this photo.
Well y’all know that I love vintage style so naturally I entered two (2) Very Vintage swaps. The first card was for Group 1 and the second card was for Group 2. So much fun! Ask to see all swaps exchanged when you come over.
This card was created for the “Top Notch Swap” and the second card was created for the other “Very Vintage Swap”.
