I made this card for a friend.
Its full of memories !
Last year we went to France and slept in the Chateau of Etoges in the Champagne regio.
Quite an Experience !
You can see the gate of the chateau on the bottle label.
The black cap is from one of the champagnes we tasted, and the slices of cork are from another bottle...
I didn't have a piece of cork so I looked on the internet for my background.
The golden champagne bottle comes from an old Shake-It stamp.
I stamped it 3 times to give it a more realistic look ...

What wonderful memories you've captured on this card! Very clever to use the champagne label and the top of the capsule.
We're just back from France, but I'm afraid that I reckoned while I can always get good French wines here, I can't get good Brittany/Normandy cider, so that's mostly what we had while we were there .
What a wonderful, personal card! I love the design and all the fab details you included! That champagne bottle is fabulous! Great masculine card! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Jellypark Friends! Hope to see you again soon! :^)
Hugs, Penny
