French Vintage Wine


Hi Folks, Well, I am still trying to catch up with my cardmaking and thought that a little vintage therapy might cheer me up, and it did. My card to-day is 8X8 ivory hammered card to which I added green leather look card and then added paper that I stamped and distressed with TH inks. Next I used a CB script folder,then added most of my French Vintage Stamps by Creative Expressions,I cut out and distressed them too, to which I added a few leaves just as a finishing touch. Took me ages but I enjoyed making it. I appreciate all your comments. Hugs Rita xxx
