Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on scrap Very Vanilla card and die cut using a label from the Harvest dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A bow made from the Lace Trim and a scattering of Brushed Metallic Dots completed the card.

Actually, I really like it and I hope you do also.
