Merci

Have you ever felt really scattered in your crafty pursuits? Well, I sure have, and quite recently at that! Without going into too many details, there are a few things I've not been doing that I'd like to do and I've started making time for those things again! And, one of the things I've missed is participation in the weekly Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. Thankfully the challenge has been on holiday and I've had some extra time to finish this card!I was reminded of an envelope when I saw this sketch and had the idea to make a card that I pictured would come from a king and be transported by horsemen. I stamped the sentiment in red and used a bit of clear embossing powder to simulate a red, wax seal, distressed the edges of the papers I used, and finished the card with feathers and stick pins fit for royalty!

Supplies: Stamps - Victorian Frippery (WMS), DP - Paris Nights (GCD Designs), Cardstock - Real Red, Whisper White (SU!), Ink - Real Red (SU!), Tea Dye Duo (PTI), Embossing Powder (SU!), Distressing Tool (Making Memories), Feathers (Michaels), Stick Pins (Crafta)
