The image is a free digi from Paper Garden Projects. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils, odorless mineral spirits, and paper blending stumps. I've been collecting a few digital stamp images recently, meaning to try the Gamsol Magic coloring technique with them (I've been a bit worried about the odorless mineral spirits making the inkjet printer ink run and bleed), so this was my big experiment. And I was pleasantly surprised by how well it all turned out!
These are the challenges I incorporated into the making of this card:
- Embellish Vintage Color Challenge: to make a vintage project using the colors green, yellow, and rust
- EtsyInspired Challenge: EIC111, to be inspired by something from the Etsy store Stiletto Heights. I was inspired by this Haunted Tree print.
- Card Positioning Systems: Sketch 190

Pretty cards Emily! Great Autumn card & I love the Vintage vibe of the second!
this is a great vintage card, emily! love the colours, stitching and your colouring.
What a great soft, vintage feel for this card. And what a great inspiration photo from etsy - WOW. That is gorgeous, too. The lace on your card helps give the card an 'old-fashioned' touch (and I mean that in a nice way!), which reminds me of grandparents and 'home'.
The digi image looks a lot like a current stamp that SU has for sale...can't recall the name. Artist Sketch, maybe?
Beautiful card Emily. I'm so glad you tried the prismacolors and gamsol...it looks perfect! I love the vintage feel to this card with the lace and buttons.
