This tutorial is all about the vintage look.

Hope you enjoy.

What you need to begin:

Pot on right is Tea , Pot on left is coffee, white paper ( I used A4 paper torn in half and half again ) washing up sponge. Make a cup of tea, a cup of coffee and leave to go cold completely.

 I've screwed up two of each of the different sizes of paper and put them in the pots for a few seconds until they have been completely covered, take them out and gently open them and leave to dry. The drying process can be speeded up with a hairdryer or heat gun.

 

 Papers on the left have been dipped in coffee & on the right in tea.

Here is a piece of paper quickly dipped in tea and some rough torn shapes dipped in coffee and left to dry.

 Here I sponged the edges of a shaped card blank with coffee.

Here is the finished card. I used a velum sentiment dipped in coffee and blasted with my heat gun. I crumpled up some of the torn shapes to make flowers & added twine to the left side.

 This pic is a little bit dark but shows the crumpled effect of the paper.

And that is it. A fantastic project from Tina. Thank you very much Tina.
