   During August, the theme for challenges at the We Craft Cards Forum is “Vintage.” I am hosting the final challenge, which will highlight vintage clothing or attire. I provided two cards to show examples. This first one features fashion from the '60s-'70s! (Some of us remember those years quite well!) Disco was all the rage, so this digi set from Beccy’s Place is a perfect fit for the challenge.

Supplies: 

·   Digi & sentiment from a Beccy’s Place set that is sadly, no longer available. (Business recently changed to clear stamps/wholesale only)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·    Sparkly shooting star stickers- Dollar Store

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·    Funky patterned paper, other misc. items and tools from my stash.

    My second sample card for the We Craft Cards Forum Vintage theme features sports attire, specifically a football jersey and helmet. I liked the football digi as a sketch, but I used my Word program to turn it from grey into sepia tones. I’ve had the football washi tape in my stash for several years (possibly Oriental Trading Company?) so it was fun to finally use it. Also, since I live in "Packer Country" and there was little coloring on the card (just a bit of shading and highlighting), all of the embellishments are green and gold. Go Pack!

    An added note, I opted to make this a Father’s Day card to include in a gift bag filled with handmade cards that I give for weddings, graduation,s and sometimes Christmas gifts.    

Supplies: 

·   Digi-Freebie from TlcCreations (Vintage Football)

·   Shading and highlights added with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Sentiments-Computer Generated

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·    Football washi tape, patterned papers, other misc. items and tools from my stash.

   This is my final back-to-school card, made for a friend's son, who is excited to start 3rd grade tomorrow! I wanted to add one more card to the current Time Out Challenge, so I used a blue/brown color scheme. (I even hand-colored the kraft photo corners with a dark blue marker to add one additional shade of blue to the card.)
