I designed these three vintage styled papers

for the Vintage Rose Paper Shoe that I made for Mother’s Day.

Wild Rose, Elegance and Rose Garland Designer Papers

(All papers shown are standard 8 1/2″ X 11″, cut in half)

MATERIALS:

• Layers of Color Art Stamps ~ Vintage Roses & Touch of Elegance
• Acrylic blocks
• Tsukineko Inks ~ VersaColor Ash Rose & Laurel Leaf
• VersaFine Crimson Red & Spanish Moss
• Ivory cardstock
• Makeup Sponge Applicators
• Small point paint brush

WILD ROSE DESIGNER PAPER

This designer paper is made with ivory cardstock, Layers of Color Vintage Roses art stamp set and Tsukineko ink. Ink the large solid rose with VersaColor Ash Rose, then immediately touch the edges on VersaFine Crimson Red ink pad. . .

. . .and stamp randomly all over the paper, varying the direction of the rose.

Use an old paint brush tapped on the Crimson Red ink pad to touch a deeper color on each rose center.

With VersaFine Spanish Moss and the leaf stamp, add greenery to the roses.

Notice that in some areas I inked only the leaves, or just one leaf. Stamp all leaves in various directions.

Using the medium and small solid rose stamps, fill in the blank areas between the large roses. Again, vary the direction of each rose. Notice that I didn’t use two colors this time, just Ash Rose.

Tap the center of all roses with Crimson Red ink.

It’s very pretty at this point and we could stop here.

But for all three papers to have unity, let’s add the same accent color to each one.

UseVersaColor Laurel Leaf, another soft vintage color.

Fill in the white areas using a makeup sponge applicator and gentle circular motions.

Voila! The soft watercolor look makes this Wild Rose designer paper perfect for any vintage project!

ELEGANCE DESIGNER PAPER

This designer paper is made with ivory cardstock, Layers of Color Touch of Elegance art stamp set and Tsukineko’s VersaColor Laurel Leaf  ink. Starting in the center of the paper, stamp vertically, repeatedly and close together until the paper is filled. Voila! Simple, quick and lovely!

ROSE GARLAND DESIGNER PAPER

This designer paper is made with ivory cardstock, Layers of Color Vintage Roses art stamp set and Tsukineko ink. First use VersaFine Crimson Red.

This stamp set is a clear polymer which has the versatile ability to be slightly flexible. So, in this project I applied the stamp to the pad and then opened up the garland a little, widened it so that it has less of an arch. This will allow the garlands to nest easier. . .

Continue this pattern to the bottom of the paper.

Inking only a portion of the rose garland, stamp over edge all along the paper on both sides.

This is a great Toile look, and we could stop here. But let’s continue adding more color. . .

With VersaColor Ash Rose and a makeup sponge applicator, softly fill in the roses.

Touch up the leaves with VersaFine Spanish Moss.

Fill in the white spaces with VersaColor Laurel Leaf.

Fini!

May your day be blessed with layers of color,
