Very Vintage from Karin

Hello there! Today's card is one that I received in the mail yesterday from my upline's upline (My Grand Upline?) as a thank you for being in the Top 1o in sales in October in her group. I'm always honored and thrilled to receive a card from Karin, and this one is a beaut! Not only did she use the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel 3 different ways on this card, but the whole card shimmers! This is so gorgeous, and I would have never thought to design a card like this. 

The Very Vintage Wheel was inked in Basic Black and wheeled across a Real Red mat, a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock, and a Kraft butterfly made with the Big Shot and the Stampin' Up Beautiful Butterflies die.

The piece of Very Vanilla was given a pretty edge with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch, folded like a fan, and attached behind a piece of basic black cardstock that was punched with the wide-oval punch.

A piece of our new Real Red Satin Ribbon lets the base of the fan disappear and adds a dressed up touch.

The die-cut butterfly was attached to the card with a Real Red Epoxy Brad, a favorite embellishment of mine. I hoard embellishments like this, so I'm thrilled that she thought I was "brad-worthy"! (If you are "of a certain age", this might remind you of a Seinfeld episode. LOL!)

The entire red mat was spritzed with our Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed with rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. It is so shimmery and gorgeous! Did you know that the Shimmer Paint is still available, even though it isn't in the current mini catalog? It was so popular that they carried it over.

All of this on a Kraft Cardstock base. This card has Shabby Chic all over it! If you know anything about our founder, Shelli Gardner, she definitely favors the Shabby Chic style, so when I saw this card, I immediately thought of her. Love it!
