Vintage Postage

I don't often grunge things up when I'm crafting, but I wanted a vintage vibe to today's card.  This is the June Betterpress Society plate, Delivering Wishes.

I pressed the plate with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink onto some cream cardstock, then used Vintage Photo to age it a little with a foam applicator.

I used the Bold Diagonal Stripe stencils from Pigment Craft Co. to create my postal background on another piece of cream cardstock, using Faded Jeans and Lumberjack Plaid inks.  Since I wanted the sentiment mat to match the blue, I swiped Faded Jeans onto some cardstock, then cut out the mat with the die (Studio Light).  I had a few matte enamel dots to add a little something extra.
