OCC Challenge - Vintage Technique

Happy Monday to all... Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend and off to a wonderful week!! :) Today's card was made for a mid-week challenge over at Our Creative Corner. The challenge is to give your cards a vintage glow with a technique called Vintage Values. Julee Tilman from Verve is hosting this awesome challenge, she is even giving away a prize. For more details on the challenge, click here.

Vintage Values How-To: Requires 2-3 shades of the same color of ink and a craft sponge. Starting with your lightest shade of ink, use a craft sponge to sweep ink from the outer edges of your cardstock inward as far as you want your glow to touch. Repeat with your next shade of ink, but only sweep about 2/3 as far in (so some of the lighter color still shows in the inner sections). Repeat with the darkest shade of ink (if desired), sweeping with short strokes, only about 1/3 of the way in.

Before I go, I would like to announce the winner for the fun paper & ribbon giveaway. Congratulations to Lauren from Lauren's Cards Ect, please email me your address so I can get your goodies out to you. jdmeyer6@sbcglobal.net
