Artifacts

Artifacts, one of my most favorite sets! Oh no, it's on Stampin' Up!'s Retiring Stamps list! I will keep mine, however, because it is so great for a variety of uses: vintage, antique-look, masculine-style cards and even patriotic! This card uses Artifacts and Simple Salutations sets and the Rough Texture wheel for the background. Cardstock is Really Rust, Chocolate Chip and Mellow Moss. I used the Word Window Punch to make the slots to hold the band of chocolate cardstock that has been embossed with the Rough Texture wheel, VersaMark and Copper embossing powder. The background has more stamps from this set lightly stamped (by inking and stamping off on scrap paper before stamping on the cardstock). The large star was stamped on Really Rust cardstock, embossed with Copper e.p., then cut out.

This would make a great card for Father's Day, birthdays or many other uses by changing the greeting on the front.

Thanks for dropping by today!
