The Challenge this week at The Next Level is a theme - Buttons and Bows. I decided to make my card with a new stamp from Stampington & Company, Fairytale Couture, Flora 2 and also to keep the design of the card fairly simple. I used a gorgeous digital range of papers called French Linen Collection from ScrapGirls.
.
.The corners are metal embellishments - I am sorry I cannot remember where I got these from, part of my stash. They are silver, but I coloured them with a Black Copic marker to give a more vintage look. The gingham ribbon is american folk art style from my local garden centre.
.
.
The inside I have matted and layered with toning dotty paper, and featured again the range of papers from the digital kit. The chandelier is a digital image from Chandelierious Brush set No. 1 from Designer Digitals.
.
.
I cannot make a card without an envelope as I am sure you are aware by now - lol - but I decided to make this a very simple one as the beautiful papers from the kit really do speak for themselves.
.
If you stop by to look, if you have the time, please leave feedback, I would love your thoughts.
Thank you, Ann xxx

Hi Anne,
Can I ask a silly question, how did you change the colours from the original download of the French Linen paper download,
Thanks for your help
Carol
Sorry for the delay in replying Carol to your query about changing the colours of the design paper. I do it in Photoshop, using the hue and saturation slider - you can do the same in Photoshop Elements which is a great programme too. Hope this helps. Cheers Ann
