Nina's Southern Accents: Vintage Look With Quiet Meadow Bundle

Hey Y'all!

I was feeling the "Vintage" vibe (if you've followed me for very long, you know that happens quite often!) and created this project with the Quiet Meadow Bundle.

I also pulled out my water painters and water-colored the flower image. I made this card to send to someone that was very special to my mom, and her favorite color was blue, thus the blue flowers. Remember when water-coloring to use Stazon ink, here I used the Saddle Brown and also the Fluid 100 Watercolor paper. You get much better results when you use watercolor paper. I use an acrylic stamping block as my palette, and just press into my ink pad and pick up the ink from there.

I also pulled some items from one of my favorite suites in the Holiday Mini, the Harvest Meadow Suite. I started with a Very Vanilla cardbase, then added a Crumb Cake layer that I stamped in Crumb Cake with images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set. I then embossed it with the Timeworn Type embossing folder, then distressed the edges a bit. I die cut some leaf images in Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz for accents.

The sentiment came from the Nature's Harvest stamp set. It is stamped in Night of Navy onto crumb cake. I used a piece of Baker's twine (don't you love that we have a pack with 5 different colors!) and separated the strands, then tied in a bow.

I so enjoy making a card with a particular person in mind. Who in your life needs some "Happy Mail?" I hope this project inspires you to use your love of crafting to be a blessing to someone. I can't tell you the number of times that when someone is on my mind, and I let them know I am thinking of them, that they have said, "Your card came at the perfect time, I really needed that encouragement." I am so thankful that God allows my love of card making to be a blessing to others.

Now it's your turn! Go get crafting and be someone's blessing today!
