The Romantic Road



I love to use Kraft card, it possesses such a natural colour which blends well with earthy tones.  This card was made from a 4 x 4 inch base card and I think the colours are lovely.  Papers were selected, cut and applied as shown. Distress inks were used to edge most components.




The main image is Moo sized and is a plate made of card, covered in paper and stamped with a chandelier stamp in Archival black ink.  One layer is a die cut circle with a scalloped edge and some Washi tape was used to hold the horizontal papers together.




I have used a sticker to record the date, layered over a printed ticket from 7 Gypsies. Some paper lace, more stamping with arrows and swirls stamps was done.




Crowning glory was the bow fashioned from fab hessian ribbon (available at The Ribbon Girl) which was tied at the centre with some brown twine.
