Someday......

Someday I am going to.....
Someday I will.......
Someday I want......

My life is always about someday, not today, not tomorrow, but .....someday....

So instead, today I will write a new post, make a new card, share my joy in creating and know that through Christ I can accomplish all things.

This card was fun to make.  I am really into the vintage/weathered look.  For one, I am not good at perfection and it stresses me out to have to do something perfectly.  The other reason is that I just think that aged things have a beauty all their own and I love trying to capture that in a card.

So although I do make cards that require more precision and I enjoy it, my true joy is in making a more vintage look.  

The base of the card is one of the stampin up browns.  Sorry I really can't remember which one.  The background is stampin up whisper white cardstock. 
Utilizing my big shot I took a piece of Stampin Up whisper white cardstock and ran it through using a Tim Holtz embossing folder called distressed frame. 
After taking it out of the embossing folder I used one of my large background stamps with Stampin Up early espresso card stock and stamped the paper I had put through the big shot.
Using Tim Holtz distress ink vintage photo I just lightly wiped the ink pad over the top of the stamped paper.
I then very carefully ripped the paper around the edges of the embossed frame.
Using a small piece of Stampin Up sahara sand card stock I stamped the wings with the Stampin Up island indigo ink pad.
I ran that through the Big Shot using a Tim Holtz embossing folder called post marks.
Using the Tim Holtz distress ink vintage photo I swiped that over the paper I had just embossed.  
Glued it all together and then added some blue embroidery thread for a little more umph.

And there you have a very long post that took me longer to write than it did to make the card!!! :)
