Vintage Vignette Antique Ephemera Edge

Written By Elizabeth St. Hilaire

Let’s Add a Little Sepia Tone!

Today’s Tidbit show’s you how to add just a little extra vintage touch to an antique ephemera background.

In this video I'll show you a unique effect created with an Archival sepia tone stamp pad and my Mini Ink Blending Tool. It’s easy and changes the whole look of your background in just minutes!
