Perhaps you have seen this card before and even though the order fell through, I kept the card because it is one of the cards that I've actually employed new mixed media techniques while sticking to my layered look style. I've improvised on the look a bit but since I had very little time before meet up, I did what was best, most remain untouched. I like vintage classic look type of cards because they look so elegant and perfect as a birthday card for someone who has a keen sense of appreciation for all things vintage or with a classic beauty.
I've made use of old stamp sets which I bought when I first started making cards and honestly, didn't have much clue on how best to use them. But very recently, I learnt to slowly gain knowledge and eventually experience, on how to increase the mileage of these stamps.
They are actually meant as a framing stamp where the middle part is for a picture that has been cut to shape. What got me to buy them was the swirls. I love swirls, whether in stamp, paper or chipboard form. It just gives a nice look to a card. For chipboards, it give an added dimension with its swirl details which you can enhance with acrylic paint or even by dabbing from a coloured ink pad.
Lastly, how can I miss out the doily paper of which its intricate details give a more cohesive look to the central theme of the card.
