Vintage Birthday greetings

Here is a card I just made for the newest

on a vintage project and join in!

Card - Nothing is impossible...

"Nothing is impossible,

the word itself says

I'm possible"

An Audrey Hepburn quote.

what a great saying! 

Of course I was going to buy that wonderful quote stamp

when I found it!

 I have used it on a canvas before and now here it is again on a card I have made,

and i'm sure its not the last time it will pop up on something i make! 

This card is made for

Vintage challenges 

75th challenge.

We are still going strong, feel free to join in!

(see the rules on the blog).

And be sure to checkout the other Design Teams blogs 

for more inspiration.

The theme to follow this time is 

'Use painting, spray or mist on your vintage project'

The delivery deadline is the 28th of Febuary 2014.

I have taken some step photos 

of my card, just to run you through some of the 

process of card making.

Mainly layering.

I left out all of the work on distressing the papers etc

I'll do that another time.

Its been a long dark winter up here in Norway,

and whilst making this card I was hit by a longing for summer,

I think it has a lovley summery feel,

mostly down to that gorgeous design 

paper from 'Authentique'!

Here is my finished card:

(want to see a larger version of the photos? Just click on them.)

Below are photos of some of the supplies I used....

and the process..... starting off with the folded

craft cardboard base.

1st panel.....

 2nd panel...

3rd panel....

 

Cheesecloth and tag layer...

 Lace, ribbons and details layer....

Below are some detail shots.....

 

I had chosen to add my paint in the way of paint splatters,

in white and a mixed bluey green.

But decided it needed more so I dipped my finger

in a blob of quite dry white Acrylic paint, 

and ran it along the edges here and there.

as you might be able to see on the photo of the finished card again...

Have any questions, queries or comments?

Just leave me a message below

or send me an email.

Thanks for stopping by,

I hope you are inspired to get creative yourself! 

Regards Nina

Hop over to the Vintage Challenge blog and

join in our new challenge!

This time we want to see Vintage projects 

made using the colour combo

Brown and Blue

For my design team project 

I have decorated a cute little birdbox,

using Macaulay Arts Design papers 

and a peice of old cardboard box,

First painted brown the dry brushed with Gesso.

and decorated a brown paper gift bag.

 

  

This is the back side.

I have used Macaulay Arts design papers 

on both sides.

Below you can see I have stamped here and there around the edges

with some Tim Holtz tickets stamps, 

to give an old scrappy look.

 

This is a real old rusty key, 

bought from 

Minne Hjørnet before it closed its doors for 

the last time this summer :O(

My cards published in Ett Trykk mag.

Earlier this year I was very happy to see two of my 

cards published in 'Ett Trykk'  magazine 

('One Stamp' in English)

Here are the cards.....

This is the card tyed shut with a peice of vintage seam binding,

The wooden birdcage from Kaiser is glued just on one side.

 Here is the card open.

I hadn't made a card with this fold before and

I'm quite pleased the way it turned out.

Here is card nr 2,

A really simple card, 

but it is close to my heart all the same.

Hope Autumn is treating you all kindly! 

Mines been a BUSY one so far!
