I've had the fan bg in my stash for years. It was one of my first colored pencil ventures and not one I cared for. I got out the Gamsol and blended the colors, better but not there yet. I used Susie's trick of wiping the panel down with Walnut stain DI and got an instant aged, vintage look! I stamped the Gibson Girl on cream cs and limited my coloring to lips and cheeks. Wiped copper ink on her hair and added a ribbon choker. Die cut the fan border and Dream in brown glimmer and backed the sentiment with a copper shadow. Added a stamped, die cut sentiment vellum panel to complete.
Come play with us!

Great save on that fan paper....I'm need to remember to try that walnut stain trick. This is a lovely vintage card with some wonderful elements. I like the copper shadow on the word and the fancy die cut border. Thanks for making a sample for my challenge Carla.

The Gibson girl with the ribbon around her neck is gorgeous, isn't she? Fab collage!
