Botanical Gazette Card #1

I made this card after getting the Botanical Gazette papers and Clearly for You stamp set and wondering what on earth to do with it!

I'm not very comfortable with the vintage look. I always struggle to get it right, aged but not completely ruined! I think I got it just about right this time, what do you think? Maybe a little more sponging on the red panels?

After stamping the images onto Very Vanilla CS and some of the DSP, I then gor the Sponge Daubers and Colour Spritzer Tool out. I didn't distress the edges of the paper because of the way the card folds, I thought they would catch and possibly tear when opened and closed.

Thanks for looking,
