I started with an Early Espresso card base and then ran a layer of Early Espresso cs through my Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I brushed Early Espresso ink across part of the raised portions of the embossing, spritzed it with Log Cabin Smooch Spritz, distressed the edges and then adhered it to the card base. I added a panel of distressed First Edition Specialty dsp because it coordinated so well with my main image...that ever so cool typewriter! It's stamped with Early Espresso ink onto Crumb Cake cs, spritzed with Crumb Cake ink, distressed and adhered to the card with Dimensionals. To finish it off, I added my sentiment panel adhering it to the card with a Mini Library Clip and my embellishment buttons.
