I created this card back in June, but never got around to posting it here on my blog. I stamped the background using Verve's Bountiful Backgrounds stamp set using Crystal Blue ink from Close to My Heart. The sentiment is from Verve's Always on My Mind stamp set and is stamped with Archival Black ink from Close to My Heart. The patterned papers are from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker paper pad. I sponged the edges with some antique linen, tea dye, and walnut stain distress inks. I finished the card off with some charcoal baker's twine and black buttons. I used the sketch from the May Week 5 Viva La Verve sketch challenge.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
