It’s Thursday and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! And what better way to get those creative juices flowing than with a sketch by talented Pal, Margaret Moody! I hope you enjoy this vintage-style friendship card featuring the gorgeous Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Vintage and Lovin’ It
- Have a yearning for Faux Burning? It’s so easy! Simply tear the Designer Series Paper up and towards you, then blacken the edge using a Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede ink.
- Spritz and crinkle for a vintage wrinkle! I took First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper, and tore and distressed the edges with Soft Suede ink. Then I spritzed it with Stampin’ Mist, and crumpled it up. After carefully unfolding the rectangle, it was allowed to air dry. It forms a fabulous mat for the Chicken Wire pattern!
- Who can resist Emboss Resist? The Flourish from Elements of Style was inked in VersaMark and stamped onto the Chicken Wire paper. It was then heat embossed using Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Next, Marina Mist ink was applied over the top using a Stampin’ Sponge.
- A butterfly flutters by…on a pearl encrusted Mini Clothespin! A whimsical touch which adds so much!
- Scrunchy and bunchy! Shirring ribbon is a breeze. I simply pull a thread and shirr away!
- The “Pearl-fect” Punch! A Blossom Bouquet Triple Punch flower is cut in half and decked out in Basic Pearls. This is designed to make you say “Wow”!
I hope you enjoyed today’s reveal. Remember, this card will be winging its way to one lucky person who will be randomly selected from everyone who leaves comments today and yesterday. The winner will be named in the next post.

Ann! Get outta here with the amazing details on this little gem! I LOVE everything about it! I have to ask you how in the world you come up with these awesome ideas. Do you dream it up ahead of time or put it all together as you go? Inquiring minds want to know the “Schach-Secrets to Style”. Because you certainly have a LOT of it! 🙂
Very gorgeous! Love the flutterbyes tail and the split scallop. Colors dreamy and beautiful!
Ah, so many details! I can not pick out my favorite one. Just when I think the butterfly is, then something else catches my eye. Just amazing all the great stuff you come up with and it seems like you effortly apply it all and it works! Love the colors as well. Ah, vintage, ya gotta love it! Thanks Ann for pointing out all the great elements.

I love the collage work! I’m so going to remember that technique with the triple punch, and the clothespin butterfly, and the… Well, maybe you should just send it to me – that way I won’t have to hurt my brain trying to remember! 🙂
