Vintage Ephemera Page

Hello to my crafty friends, It's time to update this blog and offer another vintage ephemera page, free.   Use in your printed out scrapbook pages or cards and tags.  :)   With the holidays coming around the corner, its going to be a busy time especially at work.     And what's with this weather!?   Just a week ago we enjoyed temps in the 60's, now there is a frosty bite to the air, this has left me with sinus stuffiness... and you know how it goes with the nose.    That reminds me I need to keep taking my Vitamin C.    Later today, hubby has to go in to the dentist for a bit of surgery.   I think I am more stressed then he seems to be... he has to have an implant done.   I spoke with the dentist as far as my teeth are concerned and I said I will gladly have a bridge made, no implants please.   I am just hoping all goes well with him.     Anyway, here is the page as promised.   I will try and get more made.... I have to get up early in the morning for my shift tomorrow... but to get off earlier is all worth it.     Hope you enjoy using this vintage page.   I liked making it.   Hugs, Mary

 

A bit of crafting ♥

Good morning,  I've stayed up a bit longer than planned.   Yesterday I received my Distress Oxide Sprays in the post, and its just been lovely to work with them.   The colors I selected are:  chipped sapphire; tattered rose; salvaged patina; bundled sage; candied apple; saltwater taffy.   The other colors that I had on hand, are picked raspberry; spiced marmalade.   Here are two I created. 

   

Since I don't have a good place to take a photo, this will have to do, it would have been better in the daylight. 

I had a bit of fun with the top card, light tack tape, cut into strips, and a combo of using the distress oxide sprays and ink pads dabbed with a sponge.  I really like the look of a washed sunset with the look of water.   I wanted a butterfly to add a touch of whimsy, so using a sticker I had on hand from the Paper House gave it a nice touch.

The next photo is done with the sprays using a stencil that came free in my pack.   Art Stencils by Lisa Horton.

The inspiration came from thinking about the memory of my sister-in-law.  She would have loved these.  :)

I forgot to mention the card base is a thick watercolor paper.   I wouldn't recommend using a light weight card stock as it would curl during the drying process.

It's another work day.   I hope you all are doing well.   Please leave a comment, I really appreciate hearing from you.  ♥

Blessings, Mary ♥

**Just an added note, when spraying make sure to cover those things you don't want splotched.  My poor keyboard suffered in the process! **

It can be wiped off.  lol
