I was really pleased to see the theme for this uniko challenge – Distressed or Vintage. I love the distress look and this used to be my go-to style. When it came to it though I really struggled and was unable to come up with anything I was happy with. I was determined to come up with something though so changed my tack and went with the Vintage theme.
I used the outline stamp from Pure Florals: Gerbera to create some layers on some sheets of patterned paper. The petals themselves are layered and I have curled them to give some dimension. The flower is popped up on foam squares and I added some strips of paper to frame the flower.
This is a very different style for me so let me know what you think!

What a fabulous idea to print the Gerbera on patterned paper! A very clean and simple card that is very effective. Love the touch of gingham too! It almost looks like material on your card. Laura xx
