I was watching Sara Douglass's video on Gilded Leafing (which is well worth watching) and wondered if VersaMark direct to the page for a worn/aged look was possible. It is!! You can!! Of course you still need the Heat & Stick powder heated too but I was happy with the outcome!
Unfortunately, we all need sympathy cards occasionally and the colours I have used today remind me of the beautiful lady who was such a large part of my childhood. I guess today we would call her style shabby chic!
