A late posting today and have an anniversary card to show that I made for my eldest Son and DIL for next month but am safe as they don't read my blog---very rude of them!!!
The very back paper I made with a few stamps and distress ink-then the next P. piece was made scoring the cardstock every inch and then draging a brown and green distress ink pad down the card to produce the wood effect.The small scrap piece was from stash and the stamp is from Chocolate Baroque stamped twice and 3-D the flower and paper pieced the tag part after stamping onto a book page,the stamped sentiment is also Chocolate Baroque-the image was watercoloured with my Art by Marlene watercolours.
