A sepia card

The challenge at Shelly's Images was anything goes. 

http://shellysimagesblog.blogspot.co.nz/2012/06/terrifically-thrilling-thursday_21.html
I wanted to make something different to what I usually do and this is what I came up with:




I have used a paper from TLC Creations called Building Papers 2 and an image from TLC Creations called 1100 Vintage American Town Collage.  The sentiment is one from Desert Diva.

I have kept the colouring simple - just going over the image and sentiment with a shaving brush stippling Distress Ink - vintage photo over the top of both.  The card actually looks a little deeper sepia colour than it has come out in the photo.

I have a lot of friends heading off on travels at the moment so this card will be perfect for one of them.  Shame I'm not going anywhere!
