Here is this week's Sketch

And this is my card ...


I used two images for the Priscillastyle store, namely Victorian Tea Pot and Victorian Tea Cup, which, along with other fabulous vintage images, are available in the Priscillastyles store. (see the end of this post for some handy links)

I coloured the images using my various coloured pencils and OMS, and each one was individually cut out. They are layered on various embossed papers, the first being a ochre coloured embossed card, which I antiqued using Lindy's Moon Shadow Mist in the colour Pegleg Pete's Purple.
Can you see how authentic it looks in the picture above?
Th other mat was black paper embossed with velvet swirls - which I gave a good going-over with Lindy's Starburst Spray, in colour French Lilac Violet, and if you look carefully below, you will see that the velvet swirls did not pick up the colour, but the background did, with amazing effects. The heart shaped beads, which I sewed on, were also coloured with the Starburst Spray, as was the embossed background paper, which began its life as moss green.


I just love the look of this card, and how really vintage it looks. I have never made a truly vintage card before, and am truly proud of my creation.
