Friday Vintage Layout

Hello and welcome to all our scrappy and crafty friends. So happy you could join us today for Layout Friday. My name is Barbara and I am going to show you my version of a vintage layout.

• Tips for a Vintage Layout:
• Select vintage photos
• Make your photos appear vintage by recoloring them to sepia, black and white or lightly tinted
• Choose neutral colors or muted green as your main colors
• Choose one accent color, but not bright colors. A dark red works well.
• Choose your embellishments carefully
• use many layers and textures
• do not use original photos, get new prints of old photos.

Recipe:

• Jenni Bowlin vintage papers
• Jenni Bowlin stamps
• burlap
• red velvet
• sheer ribbon
• red velvet flowers
• red, black and cream brads

Here is my completed layout:

To begin I get out all my vintage look papers and embellishments and take note of my neutral color cardstock and mist and other mediums.

I then choose three vintage looking stamps to use for embellishments.

These are Jenni Bowlin stamps.

Then I begin building the base of my layout:

Add some more layers

Add photo and other embellishments and I am finished.

Hope you enjoyed this and you are inspired to make a vintage layout yourself with some of your old photos.

As always, comments and questions are welcome.

Hope you have a scrapbook blessings kind of day.

Barbara
