You Light up my Life

Pattie's Creations challenge for the next 2 weeks is VINTAGE, and how super as I love vintage!! The effects of distressed and curled edges, antique lace, and pearls, all conjure up a past era. Obviously you are going to need a digistamp to enter the challenge, and what better than one of Pattie's Creations, so DO pop into her SHOP, as she has put some amazing new images in there, including this fantastic chandelier image I have used for my DT card. When you've made your card, head on over to her BLOG and enter it under Mr Linky to put yourself in the winning line!
I used antique-looking papers, wet the edges then curled them, and I chalked some fine beige lace that I had in my stash with a rusty brown ink. The image was coloured with Copics, and silver and clear glitter glue added.
Looking forward to seeing what you have made for the challenge #38.

  3. WOW, you really have "vintage" down pat. Love everything about your card. Thanks for the fun tip about wetting the paper edges and curling them - like that so much better than trying to use a distressing tool.
