Technique Thursday

Today's technique is about creating an aged look by using layers. This was a fun card to make because it was easy. You don't have to be perfect when you are trying to achieve this look. So Saffron and a sponge were the key to getting an aged look. The edges had the added colors of Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, and Chocolate Chip.
The three stamp sets I used are perfect for this type of project.

I used:
Paper: Cherry Cobbler CS #119685, Basic Black CS #121045, Very Vanilla CS #101650
Stamps: Artistic Etchings #120573, French Foliage #121166, En Francais #109521
Ink: So Saffron #105213, Sahara Sand #105208, Soft Suede #115657, Chocolate Chip #100908, Cherry Cobbler #119669, Versamark #102283
