Here is a card for a commission - 90th birthday. I decided it was time to stop stroking the graphic45 French Country pads (I have the large and the little lol) and actually use some. I also got a new
Clarity stamp - sketched lady I love her . I started with sheet from the 8 x8 pad and a postcard topper ftom the big pad I also used a lttle tag and stamp from the small book . I paper pieced the lady in some more of the papers so then I inked around the background in vintage photo and aged mahogany. I added some lace from my stash. the flowers are from
sweet lilac flowers. I made a box and added a sheet of 8x 8 and the small version of the large topper for somewhere for the recipient's name.
I have entered this into the blog challenge on
