The Stampin' Schach Design Tips: Easy Vintage
This card measures 4-1/4" wide x 5-1/2" long.When creating in a quick and easy vintage style, look for details that exemplify vintage, but can be completed quickly!
- A Beautiful Bow! Very Vanilla Seam Binding was colored a coordinating Poppy Parade color using a Stampin' Write Marker.
- Pretty Pearls! Stampin' Up!'s Basic Pearls can be easily colored using permanent markers, allowing them coordinate with your Designer Series Papers.
- A Flagged Sentiment! I take the easy way out and just free-snip a "V" shaped notch into the ends of the sentiment banner when making flagged sentiments. They do not have to be perfect for vintage. But if you are not confident in your free-snipping skills, just use a square punch! For this card, I inked up the "Happiness" sentiment from Loving Thoughts with Poppy Parade ink.
- Faux Brocade! Stamping directly onto textured card stock adds a fabulous "Faux Brocade" look! Don't you just love the look of the stylized Flowers from the Fresh Vintage stamp set when stamped onto textured Very Vanilla card stock! Of course, a few Basic Pearls are always "pearl-fect" for this image!
I hope that you enjoyed today's card as much as I enjoyed making it! Won't you let me know in today's comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one.

Amazing how perfect that ribbon is when you color it with a marker! Love the one color look you have going on today! Very elegant!
Your beautiful cards always look like velvet to me!
Beautiful! Reminds me of the Toile-quilt inspired card I did recently. I love the red and cream together.
this is so pretty
Oh yeah, I love this! Great Sketch and I love the dyed seam binding. Looks like it was already that color. Love the colored pearls, too! Thanks!
Love that faux brocade look! I tried the poppy with white and the vanilla is much better.Love all the details from the banner to the bow to the pearls. I knew if you used the stamp at the bottom there would be pearls on it. This is just a great fresh springy card that could be used for lots of occasions like lulyg said.

What an awesome card. The textured card stock looks like a stamped canvas and it a great element. Lovely bow and colored pearls to put the icing on the cake! Have a wonderful spring. It is just so pretty here with all the redbud and dogwood trees in bloom. Throw in the apple and pear trees, such a wonderful palette for inspiration. d
Yep! Loved it yesterday! Love it even MORE today! :)
The Poppy Red and & Very Vanilla combination is absolutely stunning!!! Your card is gorgeous Ann. I love that you made it look even more vintage by using the Crumb Cake ink.

What a great card! I love the textured stamping trick! Gonna have to take it for a test drive! Your cards have been extra beautiful of late! Am I correct in thinking you devised this sketch? Nice work!
This is gorgeous! Love the monotone colour scheme and all the little tricks you did to make all the embellishments match perfectly!
Beautiful Ann! I love all the texture and pearls in two different colors as well. I'll have to try to "dye" my own ribbon sometime. Your ribbon looks perfect, like you bought it that way. ; ) I hope to try your sketch this week. Wish me luck!
Lovely, Ann. I always forget about how pretty poppy parade is. Nice!
Great card Ann. I love the faux brocade look using the textured card stock. The sketch is wonderful and wish I could play along. Maybe I could do a card in my digital studio using the sketch.
Lovely sketch, Ann, and you've implemented it beautifully! I love the monochromatic look and stamping on textured paper is gorgeous! I must get some textured paper!
This is a STUNNING card. I love the look of stamping on textured paper! I need to try this card. I'm glad all of our stampin' brunch bunch have this stamp set so I can use it in my class. Thanks for blessing my day and inspiring my art!

Ann another beauty... I can't believe you colored your bow!!! So patient... I'm too lazy. {smile}... but what a gorgeous match to the pearls...
