For the background, I used a deep purple iridescent card, which I embossed, and then painted with Vintaj patina paint. Once it was dry, I rubbed some of the paint back, to reveal the dark card underneath, to give the feeling of old lead. I added a word on a label made from the Firefly paper again, and some burgundy satin ribbon.
This is the first time that I have used these paints. I had them set aside to use with metal, but they work really well on card, so I'll definitely use them again this way.

what a clever way to do the background....might have to get some Vintaj patina paint now!
This is gorgeous .. As always!!! I love the image and those paints look fab Px
The background is so beautiful! And the stamp from CB is popping out beuatiful. Great card! Greetings, Gerrina
A quite amazing combination of the different media & I love the sense of fantasy you incorporated. The deep russetty colours really enhance the aquas & greens & I particularly like the way the leaves of the tree are echoed in the embossed background.
The little brads add a lovely sense of metal to the whole too.

Hello Judith until I read it I thought you had used metal for the embossed background, I will have to try to Vintaj paints like that. Lovely card and that plum colouring really complements the back ground.

Wow Judith, this is gorgeous. As always your colouring is fabulous but that background is wonderful. The colours are beautiful and accent the more muted colours in the tree perfectly. Gorgeous work buddy.
