Vintage Birthday Girl

Another great design for vintage lovers by Mrs. Linda Whittles.

In order to create the uploaded card, I first copied the main theme twice, along with the 1st in row assorting sentiment tag into a WORD document, making sure that the measures of the first is no more than 4" wide and 5,5" tall, and the width of the tag is approximately 2,5". I cut the main rectangular, and from the second print the oval center containing the girl. I distressed the edges and the whole surface of both and then (along with the sentiment tag), using some double sided adhesive tape, I made a lace border around the outer edge of the theme. Using 3D foam double sided adhesive pads so as to give a little bit of dimension to the whole project, I placed the oval piece on its exact place on the rectangular main card. I embellished the surface around the oval element using clear and black self adhesive crystals and a satin pink ribbon bow. On the corners I put paper flowers and the sentiment tag, which I wrote again with a black extra fine tip pen, so as to make the sentiment more of a distressed look. After all the above, I cut out a 12"x 7" black cardstock which I folded in half, in order to make a 6" x 7" card back, on the centre of which I placed the main project.

The whole item took about 20 to be completed and I hope that it will give inspiration to crafters that like vintage, and not only...
