Vintage Card
Hi to all my crafty friends. Its a very mixed day here in Ayrshire, sunshine & showers. To day is also the local Marymass Festival that has been going on for hundreds of years, so the town itself has been busy. My card to-day was relatively easy to make, using the beautiful Frame M-Bossiblitites folder (EL-018). After embossing the piece of card I carefully cut out the shaped centre, then I used perfect medium to dab all over the embossing and brushed on some Perfect Pearls,Blue Patina, Green Patina and Pewter,the effect is stunning ,but sadly I could not pick it up with the camera. I cut out a piece of vintage paper that was a freebie( sorry I forgot the name where I saved from ). I added some micro beads around the framed edge to highlight it a bit. The embellishments were Memory Box & Spellbinders Dies, finished off with red roses from my stash. Thank-you all for visiting my blog and I hope you have a brilliant week-end.

Hi Rita, it looks anything but easy to make, it is absolutely gorgeous, love how you have done the frame and the die cuts are beautiful. I can see some shine on the embossing too which is beautiful. Love the whole card and it's vintage feel. Take care dear Lady and enjoy what little sunshine we are going to get this weekend. Crafty hugs, Anne xx
Oh Rita, this is a triumph! The embossing folder may help with the design layout but it takes your crafting genius to pick the card/colours/products and embellishments to make it work well and you have done this and then some. This is one of those moments I wish I could fly to Ayrshire and look at this in real life. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Buttons x

I love what you've done with your embossed frame - you can see it slightly, and I can well imagine the patina with all those amazing ingredients. Wonderful central image too!
