celebrate the vintage x

Well a shorter post today to share a couple of collage style vintage cards I have made. I am so loving playing with collage and feel I have really neglected my stamps...must remedy that really soon .

But for today here are a couple of men's collage style vintage cards using plenty of Tim Goodies and yes you guessed it more of those found relatives :


I just love playing with all those layers and delving in my idea-ology goodies to create these  cards, a bit of scuffing and sanding, a smidge of walnut stain and there you have it!



I know you may need a lie down after the shortness of this post!

keep those fingers inky!

  14. When the collaging is this beautiful, who needs stamps?! Though I do know what you mean... you get caught in a crafting obsession, and suddenly realise you haven't reached for a favourite bit of stash in a while... but that's part of the fun, surely. Gorgeous vintage work, Trace.
