Hi everyone, what do you think of when you see the words 'Sepia Tones'? The challenge this week at TGIF Challenges is 'Playing With Sepia Tones'.
I immediately thought of all things vintage, old photos and a distressed style card. I did start out making a vintage style card, inking up the edges after distressing them. But I eventually went with a clean look for my card as I liked this finished look better.
I have used the Healing Hugs stamp set, stamping the flowers and leaves using Soft Suede ink before doing a little fussy cutting. Did I hear a few groans? These flowers and leaves are perfect for fussy cutting and it gives great dimension to the card.
I stamped the background with the foliage and open leaf images using Soft Suede and Early Espresso ink before adhering the leaves and flowers using dimensionals.
A small strip of Crumb Cake Designer Series Paper was adhered to the bottom of the Soft Suede card base before the stamped panel was adhered in place.
A few gold sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment were added to finish the card.
This is beautiful!
