A Postcard Greeting

I've got a birthday card to share that I made for my MIL. Every now and then, I like to make a vintage card, especially if the card is going to an older recipient. I pulled out a few Hero Arts favourites and put this together. The post card was stamped onto patterned paper and then the hydrangea image was embossed in white. I then sponges some colours on the flower and leaves and edges with distress inks. The sentiment was embossed with Liquid Platinum onto a coloured vellum strip. I didn't make this for any challenges in particular, so thank you for dropping by!

Materials used:
Stamps - Hero Arts
Paper - Kraft coloured vellum, Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings
Inks - Ranger Archival Jet Black, Versamark, Hero Arts white EP, Ranger Liquid Platinum EP, Distress inks

Hero Arts Flickr Challenge

I hosted the Hero Arts Flickr Group 90 minute Scramble this morning. The theme was 'Vintage'. The participants in the challenge must make a card within the 90 minute timeframe and upload to the Flickr group. These are my two sample cards made for the challenge.
The first card was inspired by a coffee cup design and the current sketch #24 from Tag You're It Challenge.

The second card is based on a sketch from A Blog Named Hero using patterned paper from Basic Grey Lucille collection (this is a very Vintage theme collection).
