Interesting thing about my card, which when I started I had Valentine Vintage on my mind! While working with the Great Gatsby set at Artistic Outpost, I knew I would be using two of the characters sharing Valentine Love. As I stamped the love birds on vanilla card stock in Coffee Archival and matted them on Chocolate brown, I thought a little gold edging would be nice and so it was done. Actually the card base, and all panels as well as the bottles and hearts were all gold embossed. Well onto what happened. As I am looking at my two Gatsby characters, all set to go and the champagne bottles ready to be inked up, my idea for Vintage Valentine changed. All I was seeing was a wedding card for a very special upcoming wedding, so the original plan changed. Now I will redo this card for the actual event, because somehow this brilliant person managed to get some weird smudge on our gentleman groom. Have not a clue, but hey, the second one should be quick! Just a reminder that there is also a few days left to use your AO stamps and join in the January Referral Program.

This angle view shows some of the gold much better. I had the most difficult time taking a photo of this card as you can tell by the photos. The vanilla colors wanted to be white, the golds almost an olive color and the browns were somewhat off. Used two different cameras, different times and lights.
