Technique Tuesday - Vintage Technique with Ranunculus Romance

Tuesday, 11 January 2022

Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop! Today we're sharing cards featuring a Vintage Technique so I decided to use the Stampin' Up!® Ranunculus Romance to create a vintage collage card. It's been a long time since I've done this technique and it was fun to use my Blending Brush to do all sorts of sponging on my card!

I love the Ranunculus Romance stampset - it is so eclectic so it's perfect for this technique. I created a full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" of the collage and then cut it for this card. That means I have lots of other pieces left for more cards in the future!

What do you think? I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Definitely a vintage feel!

Instructions

Tear a 2" strip from a piece of card stock so that the edge is quite ragged.
Using a full sheet of Very Vanilla, lay the torn piece at different angles and sponge along the torn edge using Crumb Cake ink. Repeat randomly all over card stock.
Stamp image randomly across entire card stock using Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss ink.
Cut Crumb Cake card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
Cut Blushing Bride card stock 4" x 5 1/4" and sponge edges using Crumb Cake ink and Blending Brush
Use the flat side of Paper Snips and distress the edge
Cut background Collage piece - you need a piece 3 3/4" x 5" (save the other pieces for more cards!)
Sponge edges using Crumb Cake ink and Blending Brush
Use the flat side of Paper Snips and distress the edge
Use your Bone Folder to roll the top right corner

Cut 3" of ribbon and use to tie a faux bow
Stamp sentiment on a scrap of Blushing Bride card stock using Blackberry Bliss ink.
Cut out using Paper Snips
Sponge edges with Crumb Cake ink using Blending Brush
Adhere to card base using Dimensionals
Adhere Pastel Pearls
Cut Very Vanilla card stock 4" x 5 1/4"
