Lots of experimenting here this week. The vintage envelope had been sealed shut and unusable for it's original purpose so I did an alcohol ink gel print on it. Next day I used inked green/brown shaving cream as an ink pad and stamped with a bold, textural, all over leaf pattern stamp which gave it lots of texture. and left it to dry for a couple days. Polly sent me these little vintage cuties in the last Teapot swap and they fit this bench stamp perfectly! Experimented with the Scan N Cut and had it draw the bench image onto a piece of faux wood wallpaper. It turned out bolder looking than if I had just stamped it. Polly's challenge to use Tin Ceiling as our inspiration, led to the lacy embossing folder, a swipe of Versamark and a rubbing of Pearl Ex Powders for the shine. I colored the white heart pearl with a pink Copic marker.

Lori you were literal in your statement in the challenge thread...ha! What a great bg you came up with for the girls....and it was days in the making. I love the variety of colors on it and the texture is reminiscent of the tin tiles. Super MM card...thanks for playing.

Well done, building that mixed bg. Pol’s sisters are precious with that cool bench. I’d say your multi resourced card is perfectly designed and executed. And kudos for patience...
