Anything Goes
Just remember you need to include at least 1 item from Basic Grey and tell us what it is in order to be eligble for the prize.
This is the type of card I love to make, but don't often blog ... vintagey, maybe a bit grungey, the kind of card where my hands get VERY sink stained!! I used a collage stamp from Hero Arts, stamped it in sepia and cut it up ... it is HUGE!! I coloured the butterflies using DIs and then distressed all the edges using vintage photo ink. Whilst the ink was wet on the image I threw some gold embossing powder over it, just to get that aged look to it, and heated it. Finally I added some seam binding, a bow and button, TH adage ticket, duly distressed, and another of the butterflies fom the stamp. The dp is Basic Grey Periphery .. I love the dark colours in this range, and the swirls and scroll on it.
