I was inspired by this altered time piece on the Sharon McCartney site. Gabby (gabalot) sent me this awesome vintage stamp (I believe it's a replica of a fancy door knob) and I knew right away that it would be perfect for what I had in mind. I used two different embossing powders that I thought would go with the tissue paper I had chosen for the faux silk technique bg. Not sure if you can see but I wrapped some thin gold thread around the bg piece. The sentiment says "Art washes away the dust of everyday life."

Polly, this site was right up your alley. You have such an artistic flair, and this card shines with your ability to create. I love the faux silk background and I do see the gold thread. A wonderful card.
