- Stamp the background by inking the Classic Fabric Design using a combination of Rangers Distress Ink Scattered Straw and Tea Dye over a rectangle mask.
- Sponge inside of the rectangle mask the using the same dye inks.
- Remove the mask. Stamp the sentiment using the Versafine Vintage Sepia.
- Stamp the leaves using the brown pigment ink.
- Stamp bird using the brown pigment ink and sponge with distress inks.
The second card was created using the really fun Just Saying Hi CL502 set which has sweet sentiments to pair up with the fun telephone images.
The vintage phone was so fun I decided to pair it with the Circle Lace and the Vintage Variety and Quality. The doily is stamped using StaZon on vellum. The background was stamped with grey ink to create a soft background.
