It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... in the Flourishes store! :) Flourishes is having a Christmas in July sale going on now through July 31st and all Christmas sets are a whopping 20% off! So now is the time to get in the Christmas spirit... and to help you, the Timeless Tuesday challenge today, being hosted by Makiko is to make a Christmas creation! Stop over at the Flourishes blog for all the details to join in... YOU could be the lucky winner of $10 to spend in the Flourishes online store!
For my card today, I have used the Vintage Postcard stamp set to create this old-fashioned beauty. The papers I used here are from the Basic Grey "Jovial" collection, and I've paired the paper with some red gingham May Arts ribbon. I stamped the image in Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I distressed the edges and applied Antique Linen distress ink...
and spritzed the image with some Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls mixed with water for shimmer. For a finishing touch I colored in the "frame" around the image with my E30 Copic marker. If you click on the photo below for a close-up you can hopefully see some of the added shimmer.
