Vintage Christmas Home Decor

Nov 30, 2011

I love accent­ing our house with lit­tle pieces tucked here and there for the hol­i­days. I feel it adds a bit of cozi­ness to the house. This year, I decided to make some­thing that was a bit more appeal­ing to Ans­ley. She is not the tra­di­tional vin­tage col­ors of red, green and gold as I am. So I made some­thing with a vin­tage pink, aqua and sil­ver color scheme. It worked per­fectly and Ans­ley loves it. Now, she is hop­ing since I cre­ated some­thing with brighter col­ors maybe I can get past the vin­tagey old look­ing stuff all together, GASP… can you imag­ine… this will never hap­pen and I think deep down inside she real­izes this as well.

I was thrilled when I dis­cov­ered the label from the Crown Laven­der Salts bot­tle in the Anti­quated Col­lec­tion ~ Per­fumery Stamp Set worked per­fectly as a label for my bot­tle. I stamped the image onto white card­stock using Jet Black Archival Ink then inked over the label using Vin­tage Photo Dis­tress Ink to give it a really nice aged feel.

Please join me on my Anti­quated Col­lec­tion by Lisa M. Pace Face­book Page. Once the page hits 200 Page Likes I will be giv­ing away a stamp set of the win­ners choice. I will post new projects to this page and let you know what excit­ing things are hap­pen­ing with me and Pink Per­sim­mon.

The step by step tuto­r­ial explain­ing how I cre­ated this home decor project will be on my Tips, Tech­niques and Tuto­ri­als online work­shop this afternoon.

Hugs!
