Sabrina asked us to speak foreign on our cards today so I pulled out my French Script. This card started with stuff that was already out on my desk. I had pulled a Gelli plate print of gold onto some dp (I used textured fun foam with gold acrylic paint to make the lines) and started with that. I had the strip of Baja Breeze and used the same ink to stamp the French Script as well as to sponge the edges. I also had the grey burlap ribbon already cut so layered that as well. The Kraft paper piece was out and I distressed the edges lightly to frame my main piece as well as for the sentiment oval which I embossed in gold ep and layered over a gold piece. I diecut the green flourish and added a crinkled seam binding bow. My colors in the photo are off a bit as I was rushing out the door to take kids to the dentist and didn't take time to use my light box.

Love how you used the French script too. It is one of my all time favorites for background stamps.

Your card is just gorgeous with the French Script and design paper background. I love the addition of the burlap ribbon and flourish. A very elegant card.
