Sunday Stampers Challenge - Ebony and Ivory

I'm quite into the distressed look at the moment and this Gothic Arch ATC blank got the brick wall treatment (see tags below). I rubbed some Black Soot Distress Ink round the edges and over the creases and scratches. I stamped the Paper Artsy image with Staz On and cut round it with deckle-edge scissors. I coloured a Grungeboard crown with black ink and embossed it several times with clear powder, and added a clear gem. As a finishing touch I attached a black eyelet and threaded some white cotton lace through.
This is the second time I made this; the first one was ruined when I dropped a purple ink pad on it.
