Hi! It's French week over at Papercraft Star, and
here's my vintage-y little piece.
here's my vintage-y little piece.
~ Ü ~
It's a flappers themed deco I made for a swap.
Wherever possible, I try to reuse stuff, esp paper, and this is no exception. The image is matted with a used envelope (reused item #1). The stamped image has been trimmed and placed on either side of the main image. I love how the base visually holds everything up, and it's really firm, too! It's cut from the back of a pizza box (reused item #2), then embossed. The letter stickers are adhered, then the whole strip coated in crackle paint. It is simply embellished with a layered flower. And as nearly always, everything had been given the distress treatment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fantastic vintage card! Love those Flappers! Thank you for joining us at Frilly and Funkie!
What a terrific idea to use the recycled envelope. I need to start really scrutinizing what I discard! Love your fleur de lis corrugated cardboard fence too, Super French card and wonderful entry into our repurposing challenge at Frilly and Funkie. Thanks so much for joining the fun with us this time around.
