I changed the ribbon to cording, sentiment, stamp set-I don't own the one she used, and added layers and stamped and embossed on the two strips.
The background is a piece of Ink, Spray and Smash. I stamped Tres Chic in VersaMark and embossed it in detail Gold. The layers are all stamped in Aida Cloth and the More Mustard piece is outlined with Zig Painty Pen.
The Feature was stamped in StazOn onto the Ink, Spray and Smash and cut out.
I'm giving this to my cousin, who is getting married this fall on the C&O Canal! She said that my trip back to my childhood home inspired her! She loves the area near Paw Paw, WV, so they are getting married at the mouth of the Paw Paw Tunnel! I am so proud of her. She is a widow and he a widower. They have been together for some time, and finally decided to get married!
