I made a card for my sweet blog friend Mona's new color challenge CR84FN. She has the most beautiful color palette this week. I fell back on my shabby ways and used a vintage image I have been wanting to use.
I have a before picture of this vintage image so you can see how I altered it. I printed it out on some white cardstock and then colored the spool of thread with my Copics since it was very pale in color. Then I used my absolute favorite color ink for altering which is the Tim Holtz distress ink in Antique Linen. Now I have turned a very washed out image into something that matches my color scheme. You could color the spool of thread any color you like.
Look at this beautiful inspiration photo. I know it looks a little more clean with the crisp colors, but I was itching to make a shabby inked up vintage image card. :)
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI/Kraft, DP: My Minds Eye, October Afternoon, Stamps:WaltzingMouse, Twill: Melissa Phillips Etsy, Lace: Wrights, Brads: Making Memories,Ink: Memento London Fog, Copics: as shown in Picture
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Heather
