Tin Tile Country Home

There were 2 periods in my life when I lived in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, which was settled by non-indigenous people in the mid-1800s.  This was akin to living in Bendigo, Victoria; a nice, regional city overshadowed by the state’s big city.  There were a lot of original/heritage buildings with original tin ceilings, and a big push to restore ones that had been covered up or removed in the intervening years.  I suppose this is why I’m such a fan of the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

I CASE’d this card from Julie Warnick.  She sponged her layers with Crumb Cake to make it look more vintage, but I preferred to keep mine cleaner. I also omitted her large sentiment.

I stamped the images from Country Home in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White and coloured in with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Then I fussy-cut it out to attach to the card.  The Tin Tile embossing folder on the Silver Foil Sheets looks so good, doesn’t it?

I made this during my July Zoom Crafting Session…I hope you’ll choose a project and join us in August!  All the details are below.

​Here’s what I used to make this card:
