For this week's teaparty we were to go outdoors. No camping for me....loathe it!!!! But a nice cabin in the woods or on a lake is perfect I stamped my image on very vanilla with Distress Walnut Stain ink. I then sponged Distress Old Paper ink over the image and ever so lightly sponged walnut stain ink on too. I then cut and embossed my frame using square lattice folder in soft suede and sponged the edge of my oval with walnut stain ink. All of that was layered on my sahara sand card base. I'm not sure the picture really does it justice, but IRL if looks aged and distressed. It is off to Missouri this week. TFL!

I'm with you on the camping, Mary, but I COULD do this pretty cabin in the woods as long as there's electricity. Wow, beautifully done. A gorgeous image and love how you sponged it, the sponging and monochromatic look make it very appealing and masculine too. He is sure to love this.

This is just beautiful - love that vintage look you gave the card.

I don't mind camping so long as it's not too wet - but a log cabin in a woodland setting like this would certainly be a more tempting prospect. The sponging adds a great vintage look, a wonderful masculine card.

Now, Mary, this is more my style of camping, too, particularly if it is by a lake LOL! Such a wonderful masculine card and perfect for this week's teaparty!!
