Here's a fun technique to learn that's super easy and can be applied to any cards you create. It's call the Antique technique - or you may have heard it called the 'Aging' technique - it's the same thing.
My card today is a birthday card and I create an antique look on my layers. I used these two fabulous stamp sets: Daisy Lane and Best Year
and my medium Daisy punch. I love the Daisy punch - it allows for quick embellishment-making.
I also used the new Plaid Tidings designer paper - the perfect match for my card base and layer colors:
In my video (below!) I show you how to antique your cards, through using the Subtle 3D embossing folder and a bone folder. Frankly, a bone folder is a must-have for all card makers!

Thanks Joanne! I like the soft colors too. They are soft but stand out against the grey. I really appreciate your comment.

Thanks Allyson. I debated between brights and subtles and decided for a softer look. Thanks for taking the time to comment - I really appreciate it.

Your card is so pretty ~ I love the subtle pop of color against the gray!

That is such a fabulous look. I really like the pale colors you've chosen for this card too. Pinned.
