Hello friends! It's time for the Funkie girls at Frilly and Funkie to present their inspiration for the current challenge, 'Just My Type' hosted by talented and lovely Jenny.
Here's what Jenny has to say about her chosen theme: As a trained touch typist I love vintage typewriters. I love the way they look and sound and the font they create. For this challenge create a vintage or shabby chic project and include a typewriter, typewriter keys, typeface.
What a great theme that seemed to lend itself to creating an anniversary card for my husband. The typewriter is my favorite of the Inventor series by Tim Holtz, and I used it on my background using Alcohol Lift ink. The original alcohol ink panel I lifted this print from was used on this card.
I also used the lift technique on the mat panel just beneath the Metallic Kraft Stock layer. The typeface image is from Tim's old School Desk set. Both panels were blended with Old Paper and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide.
I tucked in a scrap die cut with the type die from the Mixed Media #3 set and colored with oxide inks.I tore the edges and blended with Ground Espresso Distress ink.
The happy couple is one of my favorite Paper Dolls. I just distressed them with my Prima paper distress tool my good friend Autumn gifted me with last Christmas and blended them with Vintage Photo ink.
I used Ideaology Type Charms for part of my sentiment. I removed the bail and antiqued them with Caramel alcohol ink and Chunky Rust Baked Texture powder.
I made a sentiment panel reading 'mytype' by adhering letters from the Mixed Media #3 die, which I cut several times. I adhered them with Distress Collage Medium Matte and lots of patience. When dry, I colored with Distress Crayons, smeared the letters with Prima White Gold Metallic Wax and more crayon. Eventually, I ended up sanding the letters to removed most of the color. Originally, this read '#justmytype', but it just didn't look good sprawled across the card, and I figured my husband wouldn't get it anyway. I don't think he got it anyway; he kept wondering what 'afkpu' meant. LOL!
