No patterned papers...everything on the card as been stamped and everything's been distressed both with a distressing tool and Distress Inks....i made alot of mess,but hey i enjoyed it!and at the end of the day that's what it's all about!

DISTRESS INKS:- Walnut Stain and Old Paper.

This is stunning San. I love how you've done the vintage look. I am so bad at vintage. I've been doing vintage for Simply Create, not sure I've enjoyed it though!
