This is for Roxie's layout sketch today. In addition to her challenge I also had a personal challenge in mind that I wanted to try. My challenge was to create a card using just one stamp set (and that didn't go as planned...lol), no dp and no ribbon.
I chose Carte Postal as the stamp set because it has a number of interesting stamps in it. I used the open floral to create my background and then stamped over it with the Linen bg stamp (see, already used more than 1 stamp set...ugh). Then I used various stamps from Carte Postal set to create the second layer, my wide border and then the final top layer. I did use a 3rd stamp set (sheesh) for my sentiment but only because it fit perfectly in that little circle!! Added 2 trinket buttons and the bird to finish it off.
Hope you like my creation and welcome your kind comments! TFL everyone and Happy Hump Day!!

I love these colors together!
The Carte Postal is perfect with this card. I never got that set but always liked it. Thanks for showing us how great some of the older sets still look!
Have a great day!

Loving these neutrals together...the stamps LOOK like they're from the same set! I like the way you created the look of dp with stamps and the monochromatic theme looks great.
