Vintage tutorial by Camilla

Hi, I am Camilla, the Norwegian DT-member of this wonderful DT! Today I will try to explain how I make a vintage-looking Christmas card like the one you can see above:)
The vintage style is very popular, and it is simply to make your card or project look old. You can often find distressed & inked edges, laces, roses, notepapers ect. on a vintage project.
Under here I have placed the most of the supplies for my vintage card. You can also find the recipe list at the end of this post.
First I start with colouring the image with Distress Ink, refillers.
I ink the edges, and use my distressing tool to give it an older look.
Then I have put Crackle accents on the image. Now it can lay and dry while I work with the papers.
I have punched scallops to the botton of the papers.
Then I gave them the older look with Distress Ink, vintage photo and ColorBox, dark brown.
And I use my Distressing tool.
Now the papers look like this:
Here is the notepaper. But I want it to look old!
So I curl up the paper:
Then I use a lot of ink on it!
Since it is a Christmas card, I want to have some gold on it. And use gold embossing on the edges.
With my heating tool:
Here are the embossed papers:
I use the stapling machine to fasten the lace.
Then I use my sewing machine to fasten the papers.
A peek on the card, when I am finished sewing:
Here I add some crackle paint on the image, just to make an old feeling, and a "snowy" look.
Now the card is almost finished, I just have to put on the embellishes like roses, feather and so on. Take a look under:)
Isn't the image just super cute!?!
Some closeups:
I have put vintage photo on the roses, then sprayed them with glimmer mist.
I have rolled up some of the notepapers aswell, and placed them together with the roses.
Under you may see the crackle accents on the image.
Hope you got inspired!!:)
