Hello friends,
Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite vintage images!
I absolutely love this vintage card with these sweet little angels.
I created a mini wall hanging and thought I would share with you how I made it.
Take a piece of cardboard and cut it 6 x 6.
I created a mini wall hanging and thought I would share with you how I made it.
Take a piece of cardboard and cut it 6 x 6.
Cover it in cardstock wrapping around the edges. I do this just so the exposed edges aren't rough. It doesn't matter what color cardstock you use as it will be covered.
I then cut out the image.
I inked around my image to make it stand out more.
Glue a decorative patterned paper on your cardboard. I am using Cosmo Cricket's "Jolly by Golly" paper line. I love this line and have been using it through out almost all tutorials so far!
Cut a decorative strip of paper and punch with an edge punch to go across the bottom. I then took brown ink and my favorite blending tool to add a vintage look to both the paper and the strip. Glue down. Add a strip of decorative ribbon such as this scalloped velvet ribbon.
Glue another strip of paper along the top.
I then took blue chenille ric rac and glued across the top of the velvet ribbon.
Cut a 5 inch circle out of patterned paper. I used a sheet from Basic Grey's "Eskimo Kisses" paper line.
Slipped down beneath the edge of your bottom strip and glue.
Glue your vintage image to the middle of the collage.
I added a cute blue flower that I found at Michaels in their Wedding section.
I used a product called "Rock Candy" crackle paint. It gives a really cool vintage look to anything and is completely clear!
The "Merry Christmas" title I used is from another vintage card image that I cut out.
I then used a bottle of glitter glue called Stickles. This particular color called "Rock Candy" is completely clear! I love this stuff! It really gives you that vintage glitter look!
I just lightly used it along the angels dresses at the bottom and on the star. I also added gems to the snowflakes across the top.
Now just glue ribbon to the back for your hanger and it's done!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I hope you enjoy using these sweet little angels!
Thank you for stopping by, Lindsey
I ADORE this, Lindsey! So creative and charming! I really need to get some of that Rock Candy--I love it! Hope you're having a wonderful night--I'm off to bed--see you tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteOh my! My heart did a little jump when I saw this image! LOVE it! and you displayed it so sweetly, Lindsey! Thanks for sharing the image and the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear what types of glue you use and if you have any particular gluing method. I wonder these things because the tag I just finished didn't adhere properly. :(
Love you sweet girls! ♥

ReplyDeleteOh that is just the cutest idea, I love the image you used.
ReplyDeleteWhat printer do you have to print on card stock. My lovely dad has said he'll buy me a new printer so I need to make sure I get the best one for crafting!

Hi Ladies,
ReplyDeleteI have been so busy lately with work, decorating, family etc...so I have not had much computer time but when I do I have been so bad about leaving comments but I just had to let you know I have been following your sugar kissed posts and I absolutly LOVE everything. You are such and inspiration. So very creative and just down right girly!
Thank you for all the wonderful post. I always look forward to my visits here and once again you out did yourselves. This little image is so adorable. You did a great job adding your special touches.

This IS a gem in and of itself! I'm so impressed! I love Basic Grey paper, but I've never heard of glitter glue. I shall have to look for some. How did you get the round circle so perfect? That's always my problem. This is such sweet eye candy I shouldn't be hungry for chocolate the rest of the day!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
You are so talented, Lindsey. And that may be the very sweetest image you have used yet! Your wall hanging is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love this so much!! I've never done anything like this before, but you have inspired me to give it a try! Hopefully everything can be found at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. I've got to try some of that Rock Candy crackle!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this sweet idea!
Carol
Are you kidding me, Lindsey...this is TOO SWEET! : ) Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh I just had to shut down the computer for a couple of days, otherwise I would have melted down to my chair I guess and nothing else would have happened, but you ladies have been so busy. Thanks for the tutorials, you are doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I would love to display it on my Blog sidebar for Christmas, would that be alright. I shall link it to you when it is clicked on :)

ReplyDeleteFind Pickling, Fermenting and canning supplies. However, it is always good to also provide an open field that a customer can write in there own thoughts, requirements, recommendations, as you may be able to service their specific needs and find out what the market really wants that you have not offered yet, or marketed appropriately. One thing I know is the smell of it was horrid. It may also have lasting effects on the child after birth.
