Sunday Sketch & Stamp

I had a lovely crafty weekend with friends last week and after coming home on Monday I've hardly been in my craft room. I also did a class with the lovely Kay from Indigo Blu at Jendenink which was fantastic and although I've got nothing actually made, lots of techniques were learnt.

So onto my card for this weeks Sunday Sketch & Stamp. Joni has given us this lovely sketch to work with

For my card I've used a Marianne Design stamp from their Romantic Vintage range. I've stamped it with Victorian Velvet distress ink and embossed it with clear powder. I've gone over a few of the white areas with Antique Linen and matted it onto a scrap of pink card and distressed the edges. The backing paper is from a paper pad called Parisian Dreams which came free with Quick Cards Made Easy. I've used a paper doily for the circle which is lightly edged with the same distress inks. The lace was white but I've added a little colour with the Antique Linen to take the brightness away. The card under the lace strip is another scrap which wasn't quite long enough so it's cut in half and the gap is under the doily. The greeting is from a Wild Rose Studio set again, stamped and mounted on scraps. I'm also playing along at Pixie's Crafty Snippets this week
