This week I have reverted to type and made a vintage card - yes! The background paper is by Papermania, the stamp by Personal Impressions and the snow flakes by Crafty Individuals. Pretty simple really - gold embossing on the vellum , the image, stamped onto watercolour paper, coloured with pencils and the edges torn and inked. The sentiment is not as cock-eyed as it looks in the photo, I assure you! I had a flash of inspiration when I was mounting the card and punched some holes with a hole punch to show the backing card through.
I hope you like my card and please feel free to leave a comment - I appreciate them all.
Wow, Janet, this is a very beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see you back and with such a beautiful creation.xxx
Welcome back, Janet. I see you are back all refreshed and creating again. This card is beautiful and I really love those 3 punched holes. Wonderful coloring too. You must use hot press WC paper or you'd have ridges.
ReplyDeleteJanet this is a beautiful card and so much your style, love the addition of the gold embossed velum.
