I've been attempting a technique called faux tin ceiling, where you adhere foil to chipboard, emboss it, paint it, then remove some of the paint. It's supposed to look like an old tin tile ceiling. I finally made a piece I like, and tin tile made me think "vintage" so I made a sort of vintage inspired card.
The other vintage-ish elements are a quill and ink bottle (you can't get much more vintage than that). I arranged them on a piece of kraft paper with a sentiment that sort of looks hand-written. For the rest of the card, I followed the 3-2-1 recipe at Double Trouble, using the Try a Sketch on Tuesday sketch. The papers are chose are old-fashioned fabric prints, so they feel vintage as well. All the panels are edged in the same blue ink used for the inkwell and sentiment -- it gives everything a little more definition.
The card is entered in these challenges:
Double Trouble #193 -- all three elements (layers, patterns, kraft) plus TSOT sketch
Try a Sketch on Tuesday #672 -- sketch
Word Art Wednesday #704 -- anything goes
Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2524 -- anything goes
A Cut Above -- use a die-cut (feather and ink bottle)
The Paper Funday #77 -- anything goes with optional twist of embossing (faux tile is embossed)
