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.

Challenge #7 -"O Holy Night"

As Challenge No 6 is closing soon I am beginning a new challenge.  This time I am  emphasizing the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior.  The name of this challenge is "O Holy Night".  Your creations need to depict the the true reason for the season.  For example you can use angels, the manger, the three wise men or the shinning star..  This challenge will run from now until December 26 at which time the Design Team will pick the one creation that best carries out the theme.  I will not be using the random generator this time.  You may create a special project, a card or create a tag.

To the right is a card using the torn frame technique.  Hopefully it will inspire you to submit an entry into the challenge. The main image is by Stampin' Up and the greeting is by Oogloo.  This card is also using the colors of the Play Date Cafe #59 Challenge.

My sponsor? It is none other than Unity Stamps!   I am so excited that Unity Stamps has graciously offered a package of 11 stamps for the winner of this challenge. You will not be disappointed with these stamps.  Also, if you have a chanc go and check out their store as I am sure you will find something you have to have.
