A very early good morning to you all
I just wanted to get this posted before heading to bed. I know I will have a couple of cards posting later today for DT inspirations so thought I best get this one in now LOL. I used my Vintage illusions stamps for this very simple card. This will be going to a train enthusiast I know. The background is a collage of all the stamps from the sheet with the train being the centre stage. I used brown memento ink with clear embossing powder for the main part and clear for the background. i then heavily distressed it all using Vintage photo. Well hows that for speedy post LOL. Anyway I am outta here now my bed is calling.
PS one more day til my DT call ends for Eclectic Ellapu.

The embossing and distressing highlight the train image wonderfully. I love trains - my father was a railroad man. Thanks for sharing this bit of nostalgia with Jackson's Digital Expressions.
ReplyDeleteI am such a sucker for vintage and your card just pulled me right on in. I love the distressing and the colors that have old vintage look to it. Overall I think your card is awesome. Thank you for playing with us at JDE and good luck.
