Funky Fossil Vintage Valentine Card

Are you so over the festive season?  I found it quite refreshing making this vintage style Valentine's card using an assortment of products from Funky Fossil Designs. 

I had a tidy of my desk and found a project part way through that I had forgotten about, so I decided to work with what I had and make a card.

For the background, I used the Funky Fossil "Woodgrain Heart Stencil" with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the Funky Fossil " A7 Woodgrain stamp" with "Ground Espresso" Distress Oxide Ink. (The project was at this stage when I found it).

I decided to mask off the heart and used "Evergreen Bough" with a blending brush to create the green blue background.  Using the same ink, I stamped the script using the Funky Fossil "A7 Vintage Script stamp".

Around the edge of the card, I used more "Ground Espresso" Distress Oxide Ink to give it a more vintage look.  I then splattered water droplets from a fan paint brush, left them for a few seconds before lifting off the surplus water with paper towel.

Finally, I used one of the words from the Funky Fossil "MDF Positive Words set", coloured with "Tulip Red" Versafine Clair ink and adhered to the front of the card.

Funky Fossil Designs new "A7 Stamp Sets" preview 5

I've been busy making another sample using the fabulous Funky Fossil Designs new A7 stamp sets, which are ideal for backgrounds.  All six new Funky Fossil stamps will be available to purchase from tomorrow, Friday 4th June 2021. 

For this sample, I have used the new "A7 Woodgrain Stamp" for the background, created by stamping the image with Versafine Clair "Acorn and Pinecone" and then colouring with various shades of Distress Oxide Inks, applied with a brush (Tea dye, Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso), I added some gold touches using a metallic gold pen too.

The sentiment is part of the Funky Fossil "Ferns" stamp set, which I have stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink and then cut up into three sections.
