DYSU #94 - Vintage

Hi all today we have a new challenge of a vintage theme over at DYSU this week!


I have made a card using some Embossing powders from Stampendous, one of our generous sponsors for this week.


I stamped the beautiful Blackberries image from Serendipity Stamps and coloured with Promarkers,
I then cut with oval nesties and  and layered onto some patterned paper cut using scalloped oval nesties.


I then went over the image in Versamark Dazzle Champagne, and then sprinkled over the Aged Gold Embossing Powders from Stampendous and Heat set.


I did the same with the sentiment label, also from Serendipity Stamps, and set aside.


I then rubbed the Versamark pad on the edges of my patterned paper, and covered with the Aged Gold Embossing Powder and heat set, it has a wonderflu golden glow, and the patchy look really gives it a vintage feel. I then layered this onto some kraft card, and attached to a Naturals Vanilla card base.
I was going to add some ribbon, but I felt the golden glow from the embossing was enough!

Here are our generous sponsors for this week:


* Silver & Gold Embossing Powders


*Winner's Choice of 5 Digis

* Winner's Choice of 3 Digis

I would like to enter this into:
