This weeks challenge at Three Muses is Vintage but I struggled with any real clear concept of what I wanted to do. After some playing around this is what I eventually came up with.

| What about a Pimms darling! |
The background is white Neenah card stock, with an open flower design stamped and embossed in white detail embossing powder. I put some Vintage photo and Broken china distress ink on my craft mat and then spritzed it with pearlex powder mixed with water. Then I dragged the paper through the various inks. Drying the paper between each dipping.
Next I inked up some Claudine Hellmuth sticky back canvas with Antique Linen distress stain and left that to dry while I stamped an coloured the Vintage lady. Once everything was dry I assembled as you see here and to finish I stamped the word Vintage at the top and a definition of Vintage at the right hand side.
Unfortunately you can't see the fabulous shimmer coming from the pearlex powder in this shot. In real life it sparkles with silver.
What a beautiful card you've made here! And yes, your 1920's flapper is truly vintage. Gorgeous piece! xx
