Technostamper – Friends 24-7

I decided to use the soon to be retired Friends 24-7 stampset for the challenge at Technostamper this week.   I also used some of the lovely Botannical Gazette Designer Series Paper which also retires at the end of this month.

I took my colours from the Designer Series Paper and used Early Expresso card for the base.  I embossed a piece of Cherry Cobbler card using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and attached it to a piece of the Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper in Early Expresso tones.  I attached a piece of the Old Olive Botanical Gazette Designer Series paper to a piece of Old Olive card with the edge punched using the Eyelet Edge Punch and then attached it to over the embossed Cherry Cobbler card.  I used my Mat Pack and Paper Piercer to punch 3 holes and inserted 3 Antique Brads.  Then I attached this piece to the folded and scored Early Expresso card.  I stamped the bird image from the Friends 24-7 stampset onto Very Vanilla card using Early Expresso ink and sponged the edges with the same ink.  I added an Early Expresso cardstock mat and used dimensionals to attach it to the card front.

I really love the Antique Brads.   There are some lovely designs in the pack but these are my favourites. 

I think this card has a real vintage feel.  What do you think?

Bye for now, Kris.
