Vintage Violets – by Heidi Blankenship

Published by Sharon Johnson at 9 00 am under General Purpose Cards,Graphic 45,Spellbinders

Today Heidi created a wonderfully vintage no-stamp card for us in gorgeous shades of purple. She cut small floral images from her pad of Secret Garden by Graphic 45 and used them as her focal images after distressing them a bit. The Graphic 45 8×8 pads always provide wonderful opportunities for cut images such as this. Their sheets are filled with beautiful little surprises to work with. The vine type die cut woven amongst the images on Heidi’s card today has been sanded a bit to give it that distressed feel as well. Both die sets used today are BRAND NEW sets from the Spellbinders WINTER CHA 2014 release. Read below to see how we handle pre-orders. Couldn’t be any easier! And a wonderful bow with a resin fleur de lis tops it all off! Take a look:

Love this vintage beauty! Layers of die cuts and some distressed images — SO STUNNING!
