Vintage French!

Hi everyone! finished work for the day and that means the countdown is officially on for my holidays....but the next few days are going to be quite testing so just as well I am having holidays next week...LOL.

So the other night I had a chance to play around with a Hero Arts stamp set Carte Postale that has sat in my crafting supplies for a number of months, using lots of my favourite products this is what was created...

100_6335


Stamping the background stamp from the Pappillon stamp set with Frost White ink onto a trimmed Kraft card stock, sewing around the edge, adding more Frost White ink to the edges and adhering a trimmed doily to one of the sides. Next, stamping one of the stamps from the Carte Postale stamp set with Memento London Fog ink, inking around the edges to soften and give a more aged look with Pumice Stone. I then ran some pink card stock through the Cuttlebug cutting a dress form die cut, adhering this and the other stamped image onto the Kraft card stock. Completing the card by adding a pink rose, a scattering of pearls, the sentiment, and finally adhering this to a trimmed white card.

Well it is now time for me to go and get some dinner ready and then sit back and relax for the night...

Enjoy your night..

Hugs
