I thought today's technique would be just great with this vintage poster image from the Baltimore & Ohio line. I embossed my backgrounder with gold EP on gold card for an elegant, textured look.
I love faux burnt edges and haven't done the tech in ages - thanks for the reminder, Lynn!

This image is wonderful, Joanne!!! It really looks like an old poster, rescued in the nick of time from the ashes!! What a gorgeous job you have done with this technique!!!

Very realistic looking burnt edges, Joanne. Much closer to what I remember my brother doing in college than what I achieved. It's the way you used the hardware with the little tag sentiment that I just love, though.
