A little bit of vintage by lindy Gillespie

Hi everyone,
 Lindy here today to  showcase some vintage styled layouts.
 
'Pure Bliss'
 
On my first layout, I have gone with a Pink theme, and have
lots of stamping and mixed media techniques on the background.
I have then used a heap of 2Crafty chipboard underneath adding layers on top.

Chipboard pieces used include;

Round Ornate Frame
  Tiny Kathleen Frame
1 inch Hexagons
Swirly Flourish Border
I first painted the chipboard (twice) using white distress paint.
I then gave it another coat, this time using a sponge, to give it a distress
uneven look to it and then dabbed some Light Pink Mist on the top of it.
                                       
 
                                                                        'Giggle'
 
My second layout also has a Vintage theme, and once again I have used
a mask and misting for the background.
 
After I painted the chipboard with gesso, I them dabbed some beige ink
lightly on top, to give a subtle touch of colour.
 
This time I've used the following chipboard pieces, and once again, used
quite a few to layer up, underneath and around my photo.
 
Tiny Funky Frames
Fence wire Panel
  Mini Fob Watch
 Vintage Element
 Giggle Word
 and Corner Baroque
 
'Enjoy'
This layout was a Challenge from YSMY and it is also a Vintage style layout.
 
I have used the following chipboard on this layout;
 
Corner Evie
Ornate Oval Frame
Circles
Enjoy
                                                          
Once again I have treated the chipboard with a couple of coats of gesso, then
lightly inked with Prima Shabby Tote ink.
                                                                            
        
Thanks everyone for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to
try a Vintage style layout, using loads of 2Crafty chipboard.
