Make My Monday Challenge 7

They are still on the vintage theme over at Make My Monday and this week they are looking for something torn or crumpled (shabby chic).  I have done torn and crumpled with a piece of core-dinations card torn into a rough square, crumpled and sanded - I then sponged it with Tattered Rose Distress ink and over-stamped with some text.  A French Text stamp from Stampin-Up was used on  cream card with the same DI and then cut out with a Nestabilities label, sponged while still in the die and faux stitching added with a fine pen; I then added a stamped Eiffel tower (stamp from Chocolate Baroque). I tied a bow of vintage ribbon around and a flower stamped using a stamp from Vintage Vogue set (also Stampin-Up) and the words were another stamp from the same set.  The background paper is from my stash although it is hardly recognisable because I've sponged it and overstamped with some swirls. A few matching pearls and that's it!!
