It's time for this month's Chapel Road challenge, and this time we are focusing on "vintage" themed projects. Chapel Road came out with two new stamp sets that are perfect for making vintage-y projects: Sew Much to Do and Typing Time. I pulled out the Sew Much to Do set and played around with it.
When deciding what to do for my "vintage" project, I searched through all the techniques over at Technique Junkies. The one called "Vada's Gesso Resist technique" just popped out at me and I had to give it a try. I really love the effect I've achieved here - faded, distressed, and muted. This reminds me of those old-timey advertisements that have been hiding in someone's attic for decades.
Pop on over to the Chapel Road challenge blog and see what the other ladies have created for this challenge. I hope you will play along with us - you could win free stamps! :-)

Holly, this technique worked fabulously. Your card is awesome. It has a real vintage flavor.
My Goodness Holly, You do some mighty fine Gesso Work, but then I always did love alittle "Grungy" now and then.
Beautiful card Holly.
Hugs Vada
