Guest Designer at Shopping Our Stash - Days of Yore


Here's my final card for Shopping Our Stash , where I'm delighted to be the Guest Designer for January.

The challenge is to make something with a vintage/shabby/distressed look.  

Here I used a stamp that is virtually vintage itself,I've had it so long! I paper-pieced it and then threw every grunging-up/ distressing trick I know at it. 

I've loved being Guest Designer at Shopping Our Stash and I can fully recommend it to you. Why not join in the challenge and put 'DT' after your name?  You might be picked next time. 

I'd like to enter:
Try it on Tuesday  hearts and flowers (hope the one heart charm is enough ) 
Come and Get it  three or more layers

Wow, look at all of that fun distressing! I love the way the stabled woman is "walking off" the tag... very cool card.

Fabulous card, I sure wish I could get into the distressing like this but mine would look like a mud puddle. Thanks for being GDT for January.

Wow! What a card to go out with a bang with! Marina, this is truly an amazing vintage looking card! LOVE all the distressing, and how the image pops off the edge of the tag! It was such a pleasure to have you as our Guest Designer at Shopping Our Stash!

Hello Marina and thank you for being our Guest Designer this past month, all of your projects were wonderful and beautiful.
This last one is amazing, totally vintage and elegant. The beautiful image reminds me of those long ago shows from the late 50s. early 60s. I used to watch the reruns.
Awesome card!!! it was a pleasure to have you play with us this month.
Hope to see you back in the gallery next time.
Hugs.
Maria Rodriguez.

I don't remember having seen many vintage pieces on your blog before, but you nailed the style here. I think you used a lovely paper for her dress to make it look extra vintage abd feminine. Lots of lovely detailing.
