Vintage chic handmade card tutorial by Debby Hughes using supplies from Simon Says Stamp #homemade #vintage

I love Stacy Hutchinson, and her card using the new Speckled Egg Distress colour just blew me away! Stacy has a great step-by-step photo tutorial to her card, and I followed many of the steps to create my card, only using new supplies from the Send Happiness release from Simon Says Stamp. The card didn’t photograph as lovely as it is in hand, but if you scroll down to the detail shots, then those are more true to life. I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

TAKEAWAYS

Vintage chic handmade card tutorial by Debby Hughes using supplies from Simon Says Stamp #homemade #vintage

Oh, there are so many takeaways from this card. It has been an age since I stitched on a card and the extra texture is so fun. The subtle background drips and dribbles with the slightly indistinct text adds a lovely vintage feel. The colourway, the type text, the patterned paper muted down with acrylic paint … I could go on and on! The card didn’t photograph that well, and I need to work on how to capture the subtleties more. The last two photos are more real-to-life where you see the sparkle from the perfect pearl splatter and more of the ebb and flow of the text background with the stamped flowers over the top.

FURTHER EXAMPLES

You know what, I was scrolling through the pictures of the cards I’d made previously, and none came to mind. I can’t think of an example I’ve made which is like this, and I find that exciting! I am finding a real buzz from mixed media in my pared-back way. I haven’t felt a rush of desire to create like this since I discovered watercolour and have been madly ordering new-to-me products! So watch out for more from my mixed media journey, and I hope you enjoy seeing these projects as much as I am creating them.

SNEAK PEEK

Over the next two days, there is going to be a hop to celebrate the new release. I’m on day two and here’s a tiny sneak peek of my card using the Chillin’ Gnomes set which is a sure-fire winner! If you like the gnomes line from Simon, then this is a must and I’d buy it now before it sells out!
