Faux Patina 2 and Impression

Here is the second faux patina piece. For the impression challenge, when I saw the picture, I knew I wanted to combo it with the faux patina and that I wanted to use this train stamp by Stampendous. It is actually a Christmas postcard stamp. But I knew it would be perfect because the train is in an oval, and the arch of the bridge in the picture with it's reflection created an oval. So I wanted to use an oval on the card. I used the bottle cap embellishment to cover the bit of holly from the stamp that overlapped the oval. The stamped sentiment actually has a flower at the center but since this is going to be a birthday card for my dad, I covered it with a button. I covered the sentiment with glossy accents and used that to attach the button. I colored the twine with silver ink.

Oh I love this Sarah! The BG looks wonderful with all the different blues and I love that train stamp! I never would had known it was a Christams stamp. The embellishment is perfect and I really like how you were able to bring so much attention to a small sentiment stamp! Thank you for taking my challenge! Laughing

Love this! I also like the way you repurposed the Christmas image and even the floral stamping on the embellishment to suit a birthday card for you dad. I bet he will love this. TFS. Daria

First I love your background and would not have thought to use the chevron look. The silver embossing is perfect with your background colors. Outstanding. I love the train stamp and the embellishment. All elements made this a very beautiful card.
