I love this new set from SU… it has so many cool elements to use. I wanted to do a brown on brown with accents of black or espresso.. using the new espresso thin, thin 1/8″ ribbons. This is a LONG card, suitable for mailing in the business size envelopes. I uses sponging on the central medallion piece to get that aged look.

Elements: Artistic Etchings & Baroque motif stamp sets; Krumb cake cardstock and ink; Espresso cardstock & ink; whisper white cardstock (medallion stamped w/espresso then sponged with krumb cake)
Large circle scallop punch, 1 3/4 circle punch, tiny flower from itty bitty shapes punch set, new pearls, Espresso 1/8″ taffeta ribbon

| An old-world cathedral, a street café in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, the stately decorum of a royal palace—these are the types of images invoked by our Artistic Etchings set.
