Tuesday and time for a new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches This one by Melissa. I hope you have fun with it.
A fellow design team member Walter does vintage really well and has inspired me to try it. I really like the look but kind of struggle with it. I found some wonderful vintage looking paper from 49 and Market. The paper and some rub-ons make vintage so much easier. This pack of paper is called Vintage Artistry Moonlit Garden. The colors are in the gray tones.
This paper had mostly blank space in the center. It was 8"x6" and I trimmed it down to 4x5 1/2. I die cut an oval frame from another of the papers in this pack. I used the inside cutout from the frame as a mask and used a line stencil from My Favorite Things to make the diagonal lines. I used SU's Basic Gray ink. Then stamped an SU sentiment and glued the frame on top. The butterfly is a fussy cut one from a sheet of the paper pack.
I love the look. I think I achieved vintage look.
I hope you will try our sketch and play along this week.
