Real Gentlemen


I had a really productive day yesterday, as my partner took our son for most of the day.

This is the first time I've used this Paper Artsy stamp that I bought, at 'sale' price , just before Christmas.

I made the background using a mix of blue inks and spraying with water. The number border is by Hampton Art. I added some twine - I agonised for a while over whether I should grunge it up but decided I wanted to keep a 'clean' look to the card. After all, even vintage things were clean when they were new!

I'd like to enter:

    I love PaperArtsy stamps and have a few but never know how to use them. Love the blue wash background and border.

    I love this card. I think the clean look really suits the blues you have chosen, and highlights the beautiful stamping x x
