Made this card for a 100 yr old ladies birthday card. It is meant to remind us of a Cigar Box top from mid 1900's, something i thought she would relate a memory. Stamping and Masking first, the center Cigar Band, then adding the Gibson Girl and masking her also, then adding the roses and masking them as well along the stamping way. tried to keep the Deep Red Gibson Girl stamp as the focus. Added glossy accents to center Cigar Label stamp so the shine brings attention. Tearing the edge of the paper a bit for distress look. layered extra Real Red Labels die cut for eye to focus.

Oh, Teresa, the birthday gal is going to LOVE this card and so identify with so many elements! I love how you've made a card reminiscent of an old cigar box and added the Gibson girl and even a post-mark from back in the 1950's. So very beautifully done right down to the vintage touch of torn edges! Fabulous card for the challenge! I love it! Hugs! xoxo
