Another ATC for a swap.
I loved the look of the paer I used. After sponging, it really looked old and brittle.
I stamped the red paper with an even weave background stamp and smudged the edges so it sort of looked like an old book cover.
The girls face is slightly colored too to give it more dimension on the card.

It seems very old and romantic.....I love it...Whenever I see those stamps that are faces, I think to myself now what in the world would you do with a stamp like that....obviously this is what you do with them! It is awesome! Lucky swappers!

This is so pretty! I just made some ATCs this afternoon for a swap. I had never really seen an ATC (made by someone else) before now! Thanks for sharing!

Pretty and romantic, I love the way you aged the papers to feel like an old love letter. Makes me want to get an old love letter just so I can feel it!
