The designers for Crafty Secrets decided to share today, a project made using one of the new Crafty Secrets Vintage Postcard kits.
I chose the Halloween kit, because I adore vintage Halloween images! I chose to make a hanging ornament with this kit.
I adhered the image to the chipboard postcard, and sanded around the edges with an emery board to smooth and even out the edges.
I inked the edges with several colors of brown Distress Ink, and added spritzes of Glimmer Mist AND silver craft glitter spray for lots of sparkle. I used rusty wire for the hanger and a few rusty stars for extra decor.
The back of the card is inked with brown Distress Ink (I love how this chipboard takes the ink colors!) and is stamped with the mini stamp set that comes in the kit.

Hi Anna ~ Your vintage postcard is stunning! I would have bet money that it was made out of metal (tin), as your inking techniques are beyond .....

That is cute as can be! Love, love, love the sponging around the edges, and the bell, wire, and stars are perfect!

I have to start by saying that this (vintage, tags) is not normally my type of thing - but it's really well done (as always, Anna!) and it's so cute and reminds me of a time back when there seemed to be more innocence and fun rather than gore and blood at Halloween. I'm even inspired to make one for our house!

Eeeeeeek! I just LOVE your rusty ol' hanging ornament. The glimmer mist works perfectly to showcase all the rusty burnishing. I do believe you've outdone yourself.
