When I saw this week's PPA260 sketch, I thought it would be great to use with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder. I decided to pull out a retired SAB set call Feeling Sentimental. I have been wanting to make a Dr Who card for a few family members that are Dr. Who fans. I thought the Brick Wall would be a great backdrop for the image. For the inside, I had to use the Retired Carry On Stamp Set. 
Since I was playing with the Retired SAB set, I wanted to play with my other favorite image from this set. I love the vintage bike, so I decided to try and make a vintage brick wall. I was not sure what colors to use, truly I added so many colors I am going to have to recreate and write them down. With my Very Vanilla Piece of paper I used Smoky Slate, Tip Top Taupe, a little Cajun Craze, more Tip Top Taupe, some Whisper White. I was really going for a grayish wall but ended up with this and was not sure what colors to use on the card, nothing worked with it so I added some Delightful Dijon to the wall and I loved it. I had to use the new lace ribbon and the little flowers to give it that feminine touch. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you think!

What a duo! I love both of these. The starting point of the Brick Embossing Folder is great, the second one looks so real! I know whoever gets these will love them. Thanks so much for joining us at the Pals Paper Arts this week!
