Postcard from France

Good morning folks

I have been playing with my crafty stash this week. I wanted to avoid anything Christmas - after my Christmas marathon a few weeks ago I am all Christmased out.  A while ago I bought the new French collection of stamps and stencils from Crafter's Companion and made this - 

For background I have used - 

• Neenah desert storm card
• Carte postale 3D layering stencil
• Oh la, la, Postmark Paris and French lace stamp sets
• Imagination Crafts mixed media art stencil
• Harmony inks - seal brown, friar brown and sandstorm

For the main image I have used - 

• Neenah desert storm card
• French floral stamp
• expresso Adirondack ink (to stamp the main image)
• Harmony inks - seal brown, friar brown, sandstone, pinetree and grasshopper
• Spectrum Noir crystal clear Sparkle pen

I used the Sparkle pen to pick up the ink from my glass mat and then colour the image.

To complete the card I used - 

• Kraft card (for the card base) which I inked with seal brown Harmony ink
• Sue Wilson's double stitched rectangle die set
• lace, seam binding, printed seam binding and pearls from my stash

Whew - that was a long post! And on that note I will say goodbye to you.

Thank you for stopping by.
