Hello and sorry I've been gone so long. I can't believe it's almost the middle of February and I have only posted one card. This has been a pretty busy month for me and I have been itching to get some stamping done. So the last two evenings I have been stamping to my heart's content and here is the result. This is such a pretty card. IRL the blue is SU's Bashful Blue and is not quite as bright as this picture shows. I guess I over adjusted it when I brightened it up on my photo editing software. I saw a crackle painted frame on Julia Stainton's blog
(see her Jan. 30th post) and loved the effect. I had recently purchased a little jar of Tim Holtz crackle paint and thought it was time to break it out. Wow, what fun - I now have a new favorite embellishment!!
(see her Jan. 30th post) and loved the effect. I had recently purchased a little jar of Tim Holtz crackle paint and thought it was time to break it out. Wow, what fun - I now have a new favorite embellishment!!I purchased a few sets from Artistic Outpost with some money I was given for Christmas and this is the first chance I have had to use them. I love their retro type images.
The ivy filigree design is a Laundry Line clear stamp I picked up from Emma's Paperie for $2.49 - what a find! The designer paper is also from Emma's by My Mind's Eye. I just love it and wish I had ordered a few 
more sheets of it. This was the only sheet I purchased of this design and I used the whole sheet for this project.
