Wedding Glasses

Happy New Year to everyone! The first challenge for 2015 starting over at Outlawz Saturday Paper Ala Mode challenge is getting back to the heart of using paper and the new challenge theme is to 'Make Your Own Background Paper'. It is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps so please pop over and join in the fun. This is the first time that I've used my new Distress Markers too, so its a new technique for me.
Bugaboo Stamps Wedding Glasses

Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Bugaboo Stamps 'Wedding Glasses', unknown background stamp (from stash), Kaszazz 'Conragtulations' sentiment.
Distress Markers: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Aged Mahogany, Weathered Wood.
Papers:  Gold foil card, ivory cardstock.
Dies: Cheery Lyn Designs Lace Corner Deco.
Other: Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Tarnished Bronze Distress Stain, gold glitter washi tape, sheer ribbon, gold embossing powder, Flamingo & Platinum Pearl Liquid Pearls.

For the making of my background paper, I used the Tarnished Bronze Distress Stain on the stamp (unknown origin of stamp pulled from my stash, sorry). It's a pity that you can't see the lovely shine of the stain in the photo either as it really adds to the golden effect. I then edged it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink prior to distressing the edges with a distressing tool. Because the stamp is only square in size I had to stamp it twice and line it up before adding the sheer ribbon & gold glitter washi tape to hide the join.
