This card is for Color Challenge CC282. Betty challenged us to use Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso and Blushing Bride and for the dessert option use something new.
I cut the decorative pole that holds the sign with a new Tim Holtz die from Early Espresso card stock. I pressed it into a versamark stamp pad and embossed it with clear embossing powder and while it was hot, I randomly sprinkled on bronze embossing powder to get the aged metallic look.

Fabulous. I love this die cut and it's on my 'gotta have' list. You have done a fantastic job on the sign post! It looks like real metal. Awesome! And what a pretty sign! Love the bird too! And the red brick look background. Love this entire card! TFS. : )
