"It's a bookmark for my friend's birthday, hence the 'friends' stamp & sentiment. She's a lover of that shabby-chic look, which I've tried to go for. I love sponging backgrounds, and went to town here a fair bit with lots of my Stampin' Up stamps - but they seemed to fit what I wanted to achieve".
"The stamps are from SU's 'Vintage Vogue' and 'Artistic Etching' sets. The inks I have used are 'Bordering Blue' & 'Soft sky' (I used both for the tag, sponging them on top of each other), along with SU's 'Vintage Ink Spot' in 'blue' for the 'F' stamp. All the punches are from Stampin' Up".
"The brown inks are SU 'Soft Suede' for the sentiment & on the scallop edges, but I love the effect of the Versamagic 'Sahara Sand' on the background medallions. I also used Stazon 'Timber Brown' for the sponged background & on the tag".

Lovely work Lizzy!
Stay tuned for the wrap-up of the 2010 Gothic Arch Challenge. :)
