My card today will be going to a very special, sweet gal who just had knee surgery. The teapotters are sending cards to Carlene this week. The theme was the Antique Roadshow. Procrastinator would describe me....need to change that bad habit. Now when making a card....start with the envelope. Address it and put the stamp on. Continue to make card. Using a dig colored with copics and colored pencils. Wanted it to look old and weathered...embossed the die...reminds me of the tin tiles that adorned so many ceilings from days gone by. Taking my finger and gray chalk rubbed in on the die. Added score lines along with a border line around the card using a dk grey copic. Decorated the envelope to match. Lisa's challenge is to add a bug.....the snail will be my bug. TFL

Wow, that embossed background is so soft and delicate looking, Linda. The grey chalk gives an amazing effect on the embossing. And what a beautiful floral image.

You have outdone yourself on this beauty, Linda. The subtle shadding is spectacular. This reminds me of a delicate fine bone China piece of porcelain. Beyond words gorgeous.
