Winner, Winner, Vintage Holiday Glimmer!

This past week, Cath Edvalson, Trends Editor for Paper Crafts Magazine, posted her favorites in papercrafting trends from the Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) convention in Rosemont, IL, in July. I was soooo excited to see that two newly released images from Stampendous made it into her post, which you can see HERE! I am so in love with the latest images and products from Stampendous for the fall and winter seasons. Too many faves to list them all. However, one of these falls into Cath's trend forecast of vintage holidays...this gorgeous image, "Cling Postcard Pretty". I followed the fabulous "Fran-tage" techniques to create the vintage look, complete with coffee spritzing and sprinkling. A soft background image was stamped in Versamark in the background and brushed over with chalks. The "Cling Seasons Post" sentiment was added over the background. The focal image was stamped on my postcard panel, but then again on a manila tag to line up with the previous image. I used my softer Copic markers to color the image on the tag. Edges were distressed, ribbon was heat-tool-crinkled, and all were mounted on a soft pink card. Once again, several of the design team members are playing along with Stampendous Saturday, so be sure to visit them and leave some love...'cuz you know you want more opportunities to win blog candy this week!

What a beautiful card! I have no idea why you like the set...maybe you're a flower or dragonfly fan? Thanks for the chance to win.

Beautiful card. You like dragonflies because of their serene beauty and their graceful strength.

I'm guessing since I did look through your whole blog and couldn't find anything. :)
