Hopefully I am just about in time to post this for the final French themed challenge on Make My Monday. The topic this week was feminine romance so I hope this anniversary card will be OK. The week as usual seems to have flown by and I must admit I was struggling to find anything different in the way of something suitably French. Eventually I came across this background which was a download I've had for ages and had completely forgotten about (also no idea where it came from now either - sorry). I added a die cut swirl and hearts using Marianne dies, added a bit of overstanping and finally a stamped and punched 'postage stamp' together with a greeting.
Again I've been missing from blogland much of the week and I really will try harder to keep up and also keep in touch with my favourites.
Love the muted colours Val. It just oozes anniversary. Good luck with the challenge. Hugs, Buttons x
ReplyDeleteThe background is quite splendid - especially with that little 'stamped' postage stamp. it certainly looks like French Romance to me & I rather like the contrast between soft background & crisp die-cuts.
