VINTAGE INSPIRED

Hi and welcome everyone.
Today, I am showcasing some Vintage themed creations.
using the fabulous

'TIMELESS TREASURES '

I trimmed and inked the summer-leaf-stems, and positioned them with the cluster of paper flowers . 
I inked the film-strips and placed them along the pen and ink labels on the left side of my page.
I separated the frame-circle-borders ,
 inked with rusty hinge distress ink and dabbed the edges with black versa color ink .

I repeated the process with the chevron-bits-units
I decided to mix the chevron pieces and scatter them on my page, 
drawing attention to certain features . 
the chipboard pieces are raised / lifted with mounting squares to add extra dimension .
all the chipboard pieces are inked with Tim Holtz distress ink/Rusty Hinge, 
adding soft dabs of black Versa color ink along the edges, to create a vintage / aged feel . 

my second vintage layout 

'FRIENDSHIP'

The heart is covered with patterned paper , inked and then stitched onto my page.
the plain-triangles are also covered in patterned paper and stacked and stitched .

I trimmed the flourish from the sybills-name-plates ,
 inked and placed it along the top of my photo.
By trimming the flourish I then have another flourish to use later .

the parisian-border ( below) is also trimmed, inked and added among the flower and leaf cluster .



My third and final creation for today.
I created this layout in April 

'JOURNEY' 
many thanks to Linda Eggleton for the use of her magnificent photo xoxo

thats all from me today 
I hope I have inspired you in some way with my creations .


THANKS SO MUCH FOR POPPING BY 
big hugz from Heather x

Just for fun, I thought I'd work out my VERY fave 'bit' from the top LO....sooo I'm vacillating between the pen, the filmstrip [L],the flower cluster or the gem with the tag.....& the winner is.....well, it's not important. What I LOVE is how the detail of your work jumps out & grabs me:):):)
