Today's card is mimicking another card, which I did in 1980's teals and oranges. So, for a further "vintage" inspired look here's the same card in supposed 1880's style:
 |
| Birthday Card 1880 Banners w/Washi Tape |
The washi tape was stuck to a sticky note (plain side, non adhesive) and cut before peeling and laying down onto the card surface.
This card isn't one of my favorites, but I'm learning from what I would have liked to have differently. Having a different stamp for the birthday would have worked better as the greeting is a little too large for the space. I would have liked more washi tape patterns to show on this card front.
The stub cut corners are nice, however they look a little awkward in the area. I may end up putting dashed lines across the bottom to exactly mimic the other card, but I'm afraid of it looking like an afterthought as well.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for looking!
I really like the look of your card! It definitely has the vintage look!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It still doesn't look quite right to me though, doesn't have the visual balance.
ReplyDeleteI love those tapes, hey how bout some inking around the edges!? I don't know, that might just be me. I have to ink everything, lol
ReplyDeleteSome inking around the edges and a dashed line or two might spice things up.
ReplyDeleteBut definitely will revisit this one and try the inking in Vintage Photo or even Walnut Stain.
Thanks Norma!
Love the card. Really neat and unique.
