My first attempt at creativity after neglecting my stamps for a while! This was for my mom's birthday... happy birthday, Mom!
The background was stamped, crumpled, sponged, and direct-to-papered. The foreground is an old picture found at a flea market (Canton... how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...). I put photo corners on the card, then stamped the trees on a window sheet and attached that to the photo corners with brads. The words were embossed on sticky strip using UTEE and gold EP. Then I antiqued the brads and the words by sponging with Staz On.
The design turned out nothing like I intended, of course! I have several more old pics and will be trying to design around them as well to make a series of cards using photos.

This is the coolest ever! Thank you for sharing so many cool ideas! I never would have though to emboss on sticky strip or to stamp over an old photo like that. The outcome is something to be very proud of!
