I love anything vintage! That is what inspired one of my newest cards, I used my new Sew Pretty Digital stamp set and until midnight you can get it for 25% off as well as all of my sets at The Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff shop at MyGrafico!
To make the card I took a 5″x7″ cream card base and covered it with a glue stick and I layered bits of paper in a crazy quilt fashion then I drew stitched around the pieces. To make the sewing supplies image I used the spool, tape and thimble PNG stamps from the sew pretty set and overlapped them in my image software and erased the parts I didn’t want. easy peasy! I colored them with my Copics then O used a pon-pom to apply tan chalk to the background then I too a dress pattern rubber stamp and inked it with clear ink and stamped over the whole image. After that I took a pon-pom with brown chalk and rubbed the chalk over the background areas only to make the dress pattern appear, cool huh! I love to print my stamps on Neenah cardstock (thanks Micki!) but I hat that what background staring at me so this solves that problem while letting me have the rich bright marker colors that are achieved by coloring on white!
Here is a look at the set I used, remember the 25% off sale is only until Midnight tonight!
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
These are all fantastic images Lindsay! My mom and grandma were wonderful seamstresses and seeing these vintage style sewing items, really reminds me of them. I think this set will do the same for a lot of others as well!

I’ve used Versamark with chalks before, but hadn’t thought to stamp over the entire image and then chalk in for accent! Now I don’t have to worry about masking…thanks Lindsay!
