A "chap" card.....

I seem to be in a brown mood.....


this is a lovely personal impressions stamp of York minster ...just inked up with walnut stain distress ink, stamped and then the edges blended with the same colour, matted on to dark brown card....then I used the justrite  harlequin script background stamp again using the same colour distressed ink and blended the edges...I also distressed it with the Tim Holtz distressing blade and curled up one edge...embossed a piece of Kraft card with the embossalicious embossing folder and highlighted the pattern a bit with distressed stain, mounted on black card, wrapped some brown and cream bakers twine round before sticking down onto an 8x8 Kraft card and stuck on a matching coloured button....
hope you like it.
