Besides the four samples I made for the challenges, this is the only DTGD card that I will have time to make, I'm guessing. I wanted to do Nancy's because...well, I really wanted to. I sure wish I could do more.
Her challenge was based on a photograph of a bedroom with lots of texture because the colors were all neutral. She wants vintage or antique for her bedroom and craft room. So that's what happened here.
I used three vintage elements: a medallion from some old wallpaper, a charm made from an old ruler and a mother of pearl buckle. The wallpaper is white because I think it's ceiling wallpaper that you can paint. I rubbed Versamark on it and heat embossed with the two eps. Wrapped two twines around, tied on the ruler charm and the buckle and added the 'antique' definition from my trusty old dictionary. There are also two art glass stick pins, which are not vintage. More texture! It's all mounted on a Fabriano notecard with a deckle edge and the background piece is a powdered gel press print. That is a super fun technique. The dictionary text and the deckle edge on the Fabriano is for this week's and last week's WT.
PS it would help if I had the keyword right. Oh me oh my, I forgot the '6'.

Jean, you know I love this! Wow. The stick pins got me! And they were not even vintage (I never would have known). Love the elements, the texture, and the mix of things (lots of things). I am sooooooo glad you participated in this challenge - I had so hoped you would. Wonderfully done and I love it. Hugz

I'm glad I decided to comment on the WT before posting my favourites. This is just wow, beautiful. All that texture - the embossed wallpaper is absolutely amazing looking. It's like ornate plasterwork. Love the little ruler charm.
