This month we have been using the gorgeous Ranunculus Romance stamp set and co-ordinating Ranunculus Dies to make a trio of vintage style cards.

Colours used in these projects are:

 

Centre Stepper Card

Old Olive card base 8¼” by 5¾” – Cut from 1” down & 1” in from 1” to 5 ⅛”
Score from edge to slit on both sides @ 1”, 2“& 5⅛”
Score the centre panel & 4⅛”
Basic White – 5½” by ⅞”
Design a Daydream dsp – 5⅜” by ¾”
Basic White – 2⅞” by ⅞” x 2
Fresh Freesia – 3 ½” by 2⅞”
Basic White – 3⅜” by 2¾”
Fresh Freesia – 3⅞” by 3½”
Basic White – 3 ¾” by 3⅜”
Scrap Fresh Freesia & Basic White

We glued the strip of dsp to the long, thin Basic White mat and added it to the bottom of the card front.

 

 

The ornate border was stamped onto both strips of Basic White and glued them to the side strips.

The scripty image was stamped all over smaller rectangle of Basic White in Smoky Slate ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Fresh Freesia mat and added to the front panel of the card.

 

The ranunculus flower was inked up using the Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape Stamp ‘n Write Markers, we added a little Fresh Freesia to the flowers with the marker before stamping onto scrap Basic White card. Colour was added to the sprig in the same way and both images were die cut using the Ranunculus Dies. They were added to the front panel with glue.

The sentiment from the Paradise Palms was stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Layering Circle Dies. It was added to a fresh freesia circle and glued to the front of the card.

The inside panel was decorated with the ornate border stamp.

Vintage Ranunculus Card

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Old Olive – 5⅝” by 3 ¾”
Fresh Freesia – 5 ½” by 3⅝”
Basic White stitched rectangle
Fresh Freesia – ⅜” strip
Scrap Basic White & Old Olive

 

We randomly stamped the scripty image in Fresh Freesia ink all over the Fresh Freesia panel. We added the sprig in Gorgeous Grape ink. We tore down the right side of the panel to give us a rough edge and added ink to the whole panel using a Blending Brush.

 

We tore the edge of the Old Olive panel and added Mossy Meadow ink to darken and define the edge before adding it to the back of the Fresh Freesia panel. The whole piece was then glued to the Thick Basic White card base.

The ornate border was stamped in Smoky Slate ink onto the stitched rectangle

The ranunculus flower was inked up using the Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape Stamp ‘n Write Markers, we added a little Fresh Freesia to the flowers with the marker before stamping onto scrap Basic White card. The flower was die cut using the Ranunculus Dies along with a sprig from Old Olive scrap card.  The flower and foliage was adhered to the stamped rectangle and the whole piece was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Sending Smiles stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto a strip of Fresh Freesia. A trio of Pastel Pearls and a White Baker’s Twine bow added to complete the card.

Tag Card

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Smoky Slate – 5½” by 3¾”
Old Olive – 4¼” by 2”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾”
Fresh Freesia strip – ⅝”
Scrap Gorgeous Grape & Fresh Freesia

 

Stamp the ornate border and Lille post mark image randomly all over the Smoky Slate panel in Smoky Slate ink. We used a dauber to add ink to the edges before gluing it to the Smoky Slate card base.

 

The ranunculus flower was inked up using the Old Olive and Fresh Freesia Stamp ‘n Write Markers, we added a little Gorgeous Grape to the flowers with the marker. We huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it onto the Basic White Tag, added the Old Olive tag to the back and added it to the card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Sending Smiles stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto a strip of Fresh Freesia. Gorgeous Frape Ribbon was added to the tag along with a bow made from White Baker’s Twine. Scrap strips of Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape were added under the tags and a trio of Pastel Pearls completed this card.

 

The ladies in glass loved putting together these cards. I hope you like them.
