Nikki has chosen a wonderful theme for us this time at
A Vintage Journey - Let's Celebrate. I love New Year, it is always time for celebration in our family, because of our Scottish roots, so I have made a card, a fairly simple one as I wanted to show off Tim's new Alphanumeric dies, Ranger's Vintage Foil Sheets and my new love - Distress Spray Stains.
The base card is Kraft. I took some white card and spritzed it liberally with Tea Dye and Gathered Twigs Spray Distress Stains and then used Tim's technique for the November tag and added some dots of foiling before cutting the words out. I used the fabulous Alphanumeric dies for the wording. There are 125 letters in the set so each word can be cut out in full - I taped them down with some tissue tape to hold them in place. You don't have to replace the 'inner' part of the words but I did because I thought it looked better...
The weathered clock was coloured with Tea Dye Distress ink and then coated with Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder, it has a lovely rough and uneven texture.
I had already covered a piece of card with the Vintage Foil (the colours in the pack are just gorgeous). I put some foam pads on the top piece so that there is a slight gap between it and the foiled layer. It is a bit difficult to capture the beautiful foiling but it looks really effective when it picks up the light.
So there we have it, a quick and easy card! We hope you will join in Nikki's wonderful challenge at
