I love the look of all things vintage and the vintage look is HOT right now in scrapbooking and paper crafting. So when I saw the Antique Acrylic Sealer in my stash I knew I had the perfect project to make!
I recently snagged up an older dictionary at a thrift store for a song and used the Secret Garden collection by Dream Street Papers .
To make this project I pulled out a page from the dictionary and adhered it to cardstock. I then spread a generous coat of Antique Acrylic Sealer over the paper and waited for it to dry. I then cut the cardstock down to size. Don't you love the old antiqued look that the dictionary page has now? That's the Antique Acrylic Sealer at work there!
To create the flowers I found this nifty tutorial over at Kenner Road blog (told you I love all things vintage). One of them I used pinking shears and the other two I tore. Cute huh!?!? Oh and to keep the flowers from coming unraveled and to adhere them to the paper I grabbed my trusty Premium Craft Glue see how it says quick drying on the bottle? That's not a joke I simply held down the flower ends and the flower to the paper for like maybe a minute and voila it was done and not moving anywhere!
Now I feel like I have a project that is suitable for framing! Thanks for stopping by and get scrapping!
