I love the way that this card came out! The card base is ivory cardstock BUT the mat is made of wood. I bought this small box of thin slices of bare wood. It's not veneer and I also forgot where I got these from. I think I got them from a store that sells Japanese art products.
To start I used several distress stains (Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Tarnished Brass). I also dropped water on each layer to create water spots. It turned out pretty. You can see some f the stain in the picture below. The picture doesn't show it but there is also a sheen on it from the Tarnished Bras which I applied last.
Do you like the little bag I made from vellum? You'll never guess how! I cut it from an old Sizzix mini bag die I had. I punched the little holes and added the bakers twine. Don't you just love how the little pearls came out?
I have a few CDs of vintage images. I printed out the man and colored him using Distress Inks and waterbrush.
All in all, a nice result.
Thanks for stopping by!
