Yesteryear...

This is a card I made in a Forum Card Swap and I know the card has been received now so I can post it on my blog.  The theme for the swap was 'Script' and luckily just as I was about to make the card I was inspired by a demo I saw by Inkylicious at the Dome last week.  I spent ages watching the amazing Deby demonstrating Ink Dusters.  Wow she made it look so easy - yes I know I've been fooled by these demos before. The black glitter episode has not been forgotten - infact I don't think I've got it completely cleared up yet.  However, I love using the Ink Dusters - so easy. 
Check this out if you would like to see a snippet of the technique.  I used Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and I also used it on the flower which is the free stamp on this month's Craft Stamper magazine.  The image is from a sheet of vintage photos by Kanban and the embossed background is not Swiss Dots but a larger square shaped folder that I can't remember the name of, but it was fab to do the whole piece in one go.

Challenges...
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I will be missing for a few days now as I'm working away.  Will be back for Bah! Humbug! on Friday though - can't miss that for any reason.
