This is the first time I inked up this stamp and I have to say I love it! It really looks like an old photo, especially when inked with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and stamped onto Vanilla cs. I left the vanilla border to make it look more like a vintage photo. Remember those? I do! Gosh I'm old. lol The background is created with strips of dp and machine stitched along the seam lines.
I was going to put "Brothers gotta hug" as the sentiment, but it was too much.
Thanks for looking. I hope you like it!

I just love this - recreating an old photo is amazing. I love the colors, the "brothers" tag, and what you've done with the twill tape and brads. It's a brilliant layout.
