Antique Tea ?!?

Happy Wednesday,

First to answer a question a lot of people asked on yesterdays card the sizzix floral die I used is an old sizzlets die and the flower is a lot smaller than Spellbinders Cherry Blossom.  I will try to make a similar card with cherry blossom die to show the difference next week!


Today's card looks, to me at least, like it has been antique stained using cold tea.  Actually this isn't the case its all been coloured with a gingerbread colour chalk ink.

This creation actually started with the flowers which were plain white roses from Wendy next door.  I was playing testing a new chalk ink and started distressing the edges of the roses with it, I loved the effect and wanted to make a card to showcase them.

The background is a simple sheet of PMD cardstock embossed with an A4 Darice folder and inked with a gingerbread chalk pad.

The topper is made of differing layers of Spellbinders in brown and Kraft cardstock with a circle cut in the centre and the second smallest label in the centre.

The roses are from spellbinders bitty blossoms simply cut in cream and inked on the edges.

Old fashioned but modern, I hope...

Enjoy...
