Good morning all.
I hope you are all well.

3.Oldie but a goodie challenge - Boys/Male card (the stamp is really old as is the scrim and charm)

Plasterer`s scrim
Charm
Frantage embossing powder - shabby blue

Close up of the image.I coloured with distress inks and then embossed with 3 layers of UTEE.A little frantage sprinkled over and then popped into the fridge.

A fabulous card Coops. Love the cracked ice look. I'm sure it's called something else but my brain has gone numb and I can't think of it. :) x
Absolutely gorgeous. Not sure why the verdict is still out...it is very stunning. In fact, I thought it was a wall hanging and not a card...it is that beautiful. A lot of work went into it (from your desciption). Thank you for sharing it with us at Crafty Creations this week.
