Week 23 already, of Linda's Compendium of Curiosities challenge, over at Studio L3 . This week we are experimenting with Double Distress, - all details of how to do this technique can be found on page 40 of Tim Holtz's book.
I used an embossing folder with vintage writing for my D.D. layer, a picture cut from a sheet of Graphic45 paper, the base card is chocolate brown. The inks I used were vintage photo and walnut stain.
I have made my piece into a card for my OH, who always takes the photos for me and loads them on to the computer, so he has has a sneek peep at his Christmas card, which I may tweek a bit before he gets it.
GC 80 Gingersnap creations Colour challenge this time is Vintage Hues, I think this card will fit this theme as well
Please go visit both these super blogs and see the fabulous examples, and thankyou for stopping by to take a look at mine.
