Speaking of Copic Markers I got a super great deal on them the other day on ebay. And when I say super great I'm not exaggerating. 80 marker lot for $220. 220/80=$2.75 per marker. You can't beat that right?? And to add the cherry on the top I lost lot of 50 markers the day before in a bidding war and they sold for $202. Score on that one. As my new friend Mel says, "That's the way to lose." I must agree.
On a more crafty note, my dear friend Marion Smith started a great club of women who love to trade, swap, and scrap. If you haven't already heard about our facebook group you should definitely join. Not only to you get to swap crafty stuff every month but you get awesome kits like the February kit that I used to make this card.
Now let me just say that I'm not a victorian-vintagy-lace kinda girl, but the finding in this kit, the papers, and the awesomeness that is Marion Smith really got my creative juices going when I got my kit in the mail today. So here it is.
When I first got the kit I was in awe of all the cuteness and this card just simply came together. I'm loving the Rolled Rose Dienamics from MFTStamps. I was able to get them as soon as they were released, but I had to wait almost 6 weeks before I could get the original Rolled Rose Dienamics because it sold out so quickly. But I
I didn't put a sentiment on this card. Let's just say I did that on purpose. He. He. But seriously as a scrap newbie I still have lots of problems with sentiment placement. Just where would you put a sentiment on this card??? And the die cut already had the word magical on it so I didn't to put anything else on the card with words that might clash with that. I like it. No sentiment needed.

Hi Angee, I am not a big vintage crafter either, but I do love the look of vintage. One day I may be able to rough up my paper just right, and add all the perfect "vintagy" elements. lol I frequently make cards without a sentiment so I can add it at a later date, when the design is versatile enough. Such as this card could be birthday, anniversary, wedding or even sympathy (if the "magical" wasn't there). If you just had to add a sentiment outside (which I think you are right, and it doesn't need one- you could place it at the bottom under the chocolate frame. It turned out very, very pretty, very nice. Well, I'm off to try to complete a challenge card. Enjoy your weekend...
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is vintage with modern in a way I've never seen before & I am DROOLing! You aren't kidding when you say it came together. I wish I could do a collage vintage look as well as this and do colour even half as gorgeous as this. WOWzas. P.s. thanks for the quote. heehee & now I must get me one of those MFT rolled roses. Who knew they could look so fresh and funky? Can't wait to see what you do with those Copics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rae. This card really came together. I don't do a whole bunch with flowers and lace but I really like this look. Glad a got a kit instead of ordering a lot of supplies that were going to overwhelm me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel. I can't wait until I get the copics in, too. Then I'm going on a spending fast. No unnecessary spending for 3 months. I'm getting ready to launch my online scrap store and need to get ready to order for that.
