Anything goes...

..."in olden days a glimps of stocking was looked on as something shocking; now heaven knows...Anything goes" (I do like Cole Porter musicals).

Yep, ever since the folk over at "Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar" announced what the theme for the week 113 challenge was, I've had that tune going round in my head LOL

The actual challenge is - Anything goes with the optional extra of Shabby Chic. So this is what I came up with...
I thought I'd have another go at colouring the stamps in a single colour (last time I tried cool greys) so to try and get a slightly sepia effect I went with the warm greys - they do look a little more browny in daylight but not so in artificial light. I also attacked everything with Antique linen, Old paper and Frayed burlap Distress Ink pads.
I tried a photo against a darker background to see if it made any difference - not really.
The card blank is a sheet of smooth A4 white CS folded in half and then the edges inked to within an inch of their lives. The base matt was a piece of Hunkydory PP - again well inked. The next matt was a scrap of PP I had in my box (think it might be a bit from Costco) - this time I tore the edges before inking them. A piece of 'inked' paper doily, some web-lace, satin dot ribbon and a selection of blooms & pearls embellish the card.
Even the card that the stamped image is on got the ink treatment.

Hope you like my effort; why don't you have a look at what the DT and other folk have come up with....................................
