Hi everyone! I'm popping in with a vintage feeling card made with the July Mini Release from The Greetery! I'll be teaming up with Betsy and The Greetery once a month or so to feature a project made with the brand new releases. YAY! So excited about this partnership with one of my favorite crafters! This past week The Greetery did a Mini Release! Just a few carefully selected products to go along with the rest of the Summer release. Gorgeous new dies that I used today (Sunflower Botanicuts) and the pretty new Crimped Rectangles. I chose to make a vintage vibed card with watercolors and old music...it was such a joy to create, and now I get to share with all of you!
CLICK HERE to go to The Greetery to see all the pretty new items! I used some new and some previously released stamps and dies. You know I love to combine lots of different things on my cards! The water coloring and inking was done with Mini Distress Inks. I found the perfect ink combo to use with the mason jar stamps too! Let's get to it! The finished card is A2 sized and a white card base. I shot my card photos at the nursery! My entire card was inspired by my love of Black Eyed Susan flowers!! SO instead of making sunflowers, I made BES!
I started with a white card base. Then I layered a kraft layer die cut with the new dies. SO pretty! I have this old book of sheet music that I use for projects, so I tore off a page of that and layered it. Then a crisp and pretty white doily. Everything vintage!
I stamped the mason jar (this is three step stamping) onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock. And used the matching die to cut it out. Then I die cut several flowers and leaves pieces out of the Bristol also. I used shades of yellow, green and brown Mini Distress Inks to color all the pieces. To achieve the look I wanted, I cut some of the assembled flowers in half!! I love how that looks!
The red heart was colored with Distress Ink. It's a VERY VERY old hand punch from my stash. I still have a few of those left!! I splattered brown and white ink over everything. I inked the edges of all the pieces too.
I used a pretty basics die and the Birthday Suite stamps to make a tag for my flower bouquet!
Here's a close up of everything!
And, finally, my inspiration for today's project!! I am obsessed with rich, golden, Summer yellow right now! I bought three shirts lately and they are all this color!! It's the perfect transition from Summer to early Autumn...SO beautiful. God's hand over all of it!!
That's it for today! Pop over to The Greetery Website or The Greetery Blog to see more projects made with these fabulous new products. CLICK HERE to see the Supply List for today, or CLICK the graphic below. (Affiliate Links Used) Have a fantastic weekend everyone! I will see you soon! XOXO

Oh my black eyed susan's, these are exquisite. I am crazy for the mini release at the Greetery. Love your photo so. Busy week here. I have 10 blueberry bushes and they have all been loaded with berries this year. So picking I have been about every other day. Last night we had our youngest granddaughters out for a campout. Beautiful night with lots of stars. I hope to be able to make some cards next week. I have two birthdays this month, gotta get busy. Happy weekend!
