Hello! Today the Gina K Design Team and friends are having a blog hop featuring Vintage Borders! I was so excited when I first saw this set, thinking of all the backgrounds I could create with it. I also love that several of the images can be used throughout the year.
On my card, I used the music background to create my own custom designer paper and the scroll border as an accent to the main image panel.How about some more inspiration with the Vintage Borders stamp set? First, check in with the Illustrator of this versatile stamp set, our Senior Designer Nina Bracket and her friend Lisa Hjulberg joining in the blog hop tonight.
Then, stop by these GinaK Designer's & Center Stage Spotlight blogs for even more samples:

To make the music background, I cut my Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock and then sponged So Saffron (SU) ink.
Then I sponged Chocolate Chip (SU).
Next, I stamped the music image, from Vintage Borders, using Chocolate Chip ink. It was really easy to line up the image, using the grid lines on my long acrylic block.
For the top panel, I again sponged with So Saffron.
Sponged with More Mustard.
Sponged with Pumpkin Pie.
I sponged some Chocolate Chip along the bottom and then stamped a tree from Tree Silhouettes, using Chocolate Chip ink. I stamped fully inked twice and then stamped a second time for some more distant trees.
The sentiment is from Nina's Elegant Verses. The middle panel was sponged just along the edges with Pumpkin Pie ink and the scroll, from Vintage Borders, was stamped with Really Rust. I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Chip cardstock and used a Pumpkin Spice cardbase.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a happy, healthy day!
