This is my card for SC402. I decided to try making it out of one sheet of CS and it worked. I made it 4.5X4.5. Used embossing folder on the verticle strip. I think I should have stamped the sentiment with the same color ink, but I don't always do well with Ranger Distressed on watercolor paper, so didn't. I like it.

Fabulous, sophisticated card, Carol. Love your Gibson girl image and the wonderful definition of a friend in soft colors on the pure white. Love the texture of your paper.

This is lovely..great image and all white design with the distressing. I love definition stamps, they always add a bit of interest..and I know what you mean about distress inks..the image can come off a bit fuzzy and not as crisp..I think you went the right way with the Archival.

The black with the muted tones of your distress ink give your card a true vintage look and feel.

Vintage, and wonderful. I just love the embossing, the image, and the sentiment.
