Challenge #8 - Life in Times Past

This post will stay on top while this challenge is running.  Scroll down to see newer posts.

The Cheerful Stamp Pad is starting the new year with the theme "Life in Times Past".  Barbara and I have made a couple of cards to inspire you.

I have chosen to put a Wisped Frame around my vintage image by Stampabilities.  The greeting is by an unknown manufacturer.  Under the mat for the image is printed cardstock which I have distressed to resemble Worn Wallpaper.  All inking was done with Vintage Photo color distressed ink.  As an accent I attached a metal piece of scroll.

When Vicki decided on Life in Times Past as the challenge theme, I immediately went to my Stampsmith stamps. This is one of the stamps I really love. By stamping the image in sepia, I tried to keep that vintage feeling. The background was done using an embossing folder and then highlighting the raised letters. The background was also distressed using distress inks. Two filligree corners embellish the image.

Unity Stamps has graciously offered a set of their stamps to the winner of this challenge which will be picked by random generator.

Here is another card to remind everyone that my challenge of "Life in Times Past" challenge will be ending Sunday at midnight.

I thought these two old ladies should be a picture that might have come out of an old albumn, torn and distressed.  The background is numbers signifying age.  It is made by highlighted cuttleburg numbers.  The stamp is by River City Stamps.  The saying is computer generated.
