{Spotlight Project} Deepti Goes Vintage with the Joyful Stamp Set!

Hello, friends! Welcome to my fourth spotlight feature. Today, I am sharing the process of making a card that's totally different to my style. But I believe we should try everything and not stick to one style. For one, we learn, and two, it is fun! I have used the October stamp club set, Joyful.

So, here's a look into the finished project. Here I have tried to give a vintage look to my card and also incorporated the chalkboard technique :)

Here's a step-by-step photo tutorial to showcase the process of making this card.

STEP 1

Stamp and heat emboss the half of the wreath on a small rectangular piece of black cardstock.

STEP 2
Use the embossed wreath as a guide to mark on the card base and stamp the rest of the wreath in green ink.

STEP 3
Next, use a ruler and a pencil to make the sunburst. You can also use a stencil to do this. I did not have one, so I created my own. Mask off along the lines to ink the rays.

STEP 4
Here I dressed up the card base further to give it a more rustic feel. I swiped and dabbed the ink pad along the edges, randomly stamped the sentiments, and added crackle paste.

STEP 5
In the final step, I worked on the chalkboard where I stamped the sentiments in white pigment ink and added some random dabs of white ink. I also added a stitch line with a gel pen. 

Here's the finished card once again. I added the chalkboard panel with some foam dots to add dimension. The final card was photographed in the sunlight.

That finishes my fourth spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy crafting!
