Vintage Celebrate

Freshly Made Sketches put out this sketch today:

I was immediately reminded of one of what I consider an oldie but goodie.

The first few times I made this card, it was just plain old card stock and stamps. So, let me tell you a little bit about what I did this time.

The card stock colors are crumb cake, early espresso, and very vanilla. I ran the base through the embosser with the distressed lines cuttlebug embossing folder. Then I spritzed the paper with early espresso ink. I put a few drops of early espresso re-inker on my non-stick mat and added a few drops of alcohol. I dipped a paint brush into the mixture and brushed my thumb across the bristles to make a fine spray. I also let some bigger drops go randomly around the paper. The stamps are all from the Stampin' Up "Feeling Sentimental" stamp set. The celebrate sentiment was stamped on a plain piece of very vanilla cardstock and I just kind of cut it out into a random shape. I don't really like it, but it can be changed later. The inked used to stamp is early espresso.
