Altered Pages & Pink Persimmon

Yes, today is Two for Tuesday blog hop at Altered Pages.
This month we are hopping with Pink Persimmon.
If you've not heard of Pink Persimmon before it's a rubber stamp company with some really beautiful stamp images.  Lots of really cool vintage/retro designs which I absolutely adore!  Some of my fav's are the House & Home (check out the awesome sewing & fashion stamps), Antiquated (love them all!!!) and Vintage.
Well, I was lucky enough to play with the following stamps to create my cards: Sweetheart Silk; Hello Vintage Girl and Style Girl.
And here are my projects....

My first card - I like your Style was made using the Sweetheart Silk and Style Girl stamp sets from Pink Persimmon.  Her clothes were stamped on Pink Collage Background (AP1724pink) and the sewing related images are from the collage Antique Sewing (AP468).
I also used a piece of a real measuring tape and a portion of a set of directions from a dress pattern (in the background) as well as lots of vintage lace, findings, etc.


The next card is made using the Sweetheart Silk and Hello Vintage Girl stamps as well as a couple of collage images from the Ladies who Lunch collage sheet (AP477) with a bit of seam binding and a vintage button.  The envelope is a glassine envelope also found at Altered Pages.


And finally  I have a couple smaller cards made from the Sweetheart Silk stamp!
They were stamped on a folded piece of cardstock then trimmed leaving a bit of the fold intact.
The collage images are again from the Antique Sewing collage sheet (link above).
What's even more fun is they fit perfectly inside the ATC sized glassine envelopes!


I hope you've enjoyed my contributions to the hop...
I had lots of fun making them.

Be sure to check out the rest of the fun projects created by the Altered Pages Design Team!

Till tomorrow....
Have a wonderfully inky day!

    I am in love with all things retro and your designs are retro perfect. Just when I promised myself not to look at any new to me stamp companies, I am going to have to check out their stamp designs.

    I know that you are tucked inside Roni due to frigid temps, but your cards Roni, remind me of a warm spring day!

    WOW! Awesome work Roni. You obviously put a lot of time and effort (heart too) into your post. I love the use of other sewing elements in conjunction with the AP & PP supplies - really pulled it all together perfectly.

    Great projects! Love the old time feel to these, they remind me of vintage patterns I have from the early 1900's. The color adds pop to the "sweetheart". Thanks for sharing.
