This is the card I sent to my mother-in-law for her birthday this year.
I antiqued the Silver Flourish Designer Frame from the Holiday Mini by smooshing it into a VersaMark Pad, sprinkling on White Stampin' Emboss Powder, tapping off the excess powder, and then heating it until it was completely melted. I then used a Sponge Dauber to sponge a little bit of Soft Suede Ink onto the frame. Next, I sprinkled on Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heated it until melted to seal the Soft Suede Ink in place. The look was exactly what I'd hoped for, an antiqued vanilla frame!
I roughed up the edges of all the layers with my fingernails. The two-tone flower was created by inking it up with Pink Pirouette Ink and then randomly thumping the Riding Hood Red Marker's brush tip around on the inked up stamp. Enjoy!
