“The best antiques are old friend.”
Isn’t that true. I had to have this stamp set not only for the fabulous shoe and antiques but mostly for this phrase. It makes me think of a couple of my best friends from high school and college.
This fun card was designed for a challenge called Wonderfully Wicked Wednesday. The challenge was Silver/Ruby Red Shoes.
The colors I used are Early Espresso, Whisper White and Real Red. The base is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Early Espresso. Then I layered a 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White piece of card stock. Next, I ran a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Real Red card stock through the Big Shot in the Elegant Lines textured impressions embossing folder. The Elegant Lines embossing folder is what gives it such an elegant textured look. I love it!
The scallop square is actually a silver metal that I ran through the Big Shot using a Bigz Die. I then layered a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Early Espresso Card Stock. The Whisper White square is 2″ x 2″. My image was stamped in Real Red. The greeting was take from the Stampin’ Up! stamp set called Chic Boutique. It says “It seems only fitting… to wish you a happy day!” Absolutely perfect!

Wonderful card Brandy! Inspired me to use my
textured impressions embossing folders. Watch
for a card in the mail from me. : )
Love the colors and the way you included metal. What did you use to glue the metal to paper???
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for stopping by BrandysCards.com! To adhere the metal I used the Stampin Up Mini Glue Dots. They seem to work the best. I couldn’t get Tombow to work. You could probably use Sticky Strip but I just felt the Mini Glue Dots were easier and faster! Thanks for stopping by and Thank you for leaving a comment. Have a blessed day! Brandy
Awesome work, Brandy! I love the way the Elegant Lines and the red color give a fresh look to a vintage stamp! The metal is beautiful!
Hey, Thanks Friends for stopping by and leaving comments!!! I really appreciate it and you!!! Have a wonderfully day 🙂 Cheers, Brandy

Great idea for the challenge, Brandy! Love it and love that shoe too!!!
Nice card I like that shoe.
