Vintage Kraft Postcard by Tracey Fairgrieve

11:00

Hello everyone,

Thursday's here again, time to share some That's Crafty! Creativity!

There has been so many marvellous makes using Kraft Card online recently
it reminded me of a project I started last December and never quite finished.

Here's those abandoned elements and what became of them..

Stippling three different colours of paint through a stencil onto Kraft Card
I placed both card and stencil still together through an embossing machine.


Onto gesso'd card painted with Pink Shimmer I stamped and 
embossed lots of roses, cut each one out and scrunched them up.


The ribbon was stamped onto a strip of gesso'd kraft card and painted in 
Pink Shimmer. Glued onto a piece of lace, the strip is sewn onto the background.


The edges of the background have been machine sewn and torn down 
to the size of a postcard. A sentiment stamped onto the stained paper of a 
used teabag (it's so on trend!!) was also sewn onto the card.


Layering up those scrunched up flowers, stamped Kraft card leaves add 
to those layers along with a gem stones and a button.

With the background glued onto a sturdy greyboard Postcard 
it makes an alternative way to display or give as a gift.


Thank you for sharing your time.

As always I look forward to sharing more That's Crafty! Creativity
with you all same time next week.

Creative wishes
Tracey xx

    1. Really glad you like it Fliss, I had planned to use this for a Birthday card but Christmas got in the way then it got packed away, glad I found it and all the elements were still together. It turned out a lot differently to how I originally planned xx

    1. Thank you Amanda, I find it difficult at times to layer things up like this. I end up shifting it from end to end before i'm happy enough to glue it into place xx

    1. Thank you so much Donna, I tend to use Kraft Card more at Christmas but it works so well with stitching and as my machine is currently out and working very hard it seemed the right time to put this one together at last xx
