Vintage Wallpaper

Hello All,

Well, it is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my last post for The Male Room. It was a terribly hard decision but one I thought needed to be made. Life has gotten too busy for me to give the attention that this fantastic blog deserves. This is a very supportive group and for that, I am so grateful to have been a part of such a wonderful design team. 


The theme for the next coming weeks is all about Inspired by Film! You can choose objects, themes, and/or phrases that pertain to the subject. We want to see your interpretation. Just remember, to keep it masculine. Here is my card for today, enjoy! Here is my last DT card that is inspired by the film The Great Gatsby


The old vintage Art Deco pattern reminds me of the glamorous setting throughout the movie.
It was set during a time when Art Deco was in vogue. But seriously, did it ever go out of style?

The background was done using a stencil that came with a peacock stamp set by Stampendous.
It was a happy surprise when I discovered this little gem!
I placed the stencil down on off-white 110lb. cardstock and sponged on Distress Inks. Rusted Hinge for the outside and Peacock Feather for the middle.
I then added a single adhesive enamel dot to the feather that wasn't blocked by the sentiment.
Distressed the edges using Vintage Photo.
The sentiment is an edge die-cut 'happy'. I then stamped and embossed in white completing the sentiment 'for your kindness'.
Well, that should do it for me. If you haven't already done so, hop on over to The Male Room to see other inspirational cards by our talented design team. It is surely going to spark some ideas and then join our challenge. Looking forward to seeing you!! Until then, take care and happy stamping!
