The challenge at the Hero Arts Blog this week is to celebrate learning and showcase new things you've learned in card design. I revisited these designs from December 2008, and updated them with my new Thank You cling stamp.
One of the things I've learned is to incorporate vintage book pages into my design. I love how this stamp looks on the aged paper. I've also learned that paper piecing and coloring a few of the elements in the design can really make it pop. Additionally, I finally found some linen thread and love adding touches of it to cards as well.
I also added some Candle Light Shimmerz glitter paint around the outside of the frame, which slightly darkens the vintage paper and adds an overall sparkle. The papers are Basic Grey Marrakech.
Did you Hop today? Remember it's a three-day hop, so join me tomorrow for day 2.
