It's Tifany here posing the question....
Can you do a vintage look using baker's twine?
ABSOLUTELY!
I knew I wanted to use some twine on my card {love that new charcoal color!}, but I also wanted to use these vintage looking papers. Although I LOVE the bright colors from The Twinery it just wasn't working for this particular card.
BUT - I didn't give up!
I took my Antique Linen Distress Ink pad and swiped it over the twine until I got a little more aged look...and now it flows perfectly with the look of my card.
If you've been thinking of purchasing twine from The Twinery, today is the day! Head on over to the online store and get yourself a little bit of fabulousness today!
