Every so often, I like to try my hand at styles that are a little outside my comfort zone. I think the vintage look is so beautiful and I really admire designers who do it so well and so often. When I saw this week's
Mojo Monday sketch, I was excited to try something new! I took out my
Embrace Beauty set from
Taylored Expressions and some pretty, vintage paper. I mostly followed the sketch closely except to tear the bottom later to reveal the sentiment below. I sponged some ink around each element and added two ribbons, tied together.
I was happy with my little foray into a style that isn't my usual thing...I'll definitely be doing this more often!
Stamps: Embrace Beauty (Taylored Expressions); Ink: Soft Suede Classic Dye (Stampin' Up!); Patterned Paper: Paris & Co. (My Mind's Eye); Cardstock: Choice Buttercream (TE), Bordering Blue (Stampin' Up!); Fibers: Silver Organdy, Chocolate Satin (Jo-Ann); Dies: Labels Eighteen Spellbinders
