Spectacles - Scrollwork CMS367

One of the new stamp sets from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous that is available this month is Scrollwork CMS367. It is a full set of various scroll shapes that can be used individually or as seen on this card, I stamped most of the scrolls so they made a vintage looking background.

To make the background, I colored a piece of Distress Multi Media Heavystock with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Then I stamped the various scrolls onto it with Distress Embossing Ink and embossed it with Superfine Gold Embossing Powder. Then I watercolored inside the scrolls with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers. 

I cut the center out with two different sizes of the Stitched Ovals dies. Then in Black Soot Distress Ink, I stamped the spectacles image from the Eclectic Adverts CMS372 which is released in March 2019. I watercolored just the word spectacles.

As I stated in my last post, I like having even the tiniest bit of a story with my projects.  With this one it is the Muse Token with the E for Excellence with the "Spectacles the Best in Use." I picked the E because it is the top letter on the eye charts you have to read when getting fitted for spectacles. The excellence on the token goes with the fact that the LM Moses spectacles claim to be the BEST in USE.
