This card is rather a cheat, as the main elements came from a money envelope that I doctored inked and stamped on! I found a backing paper that blended well, once I had inked it with Antique Linen Distress Ink and shaded the edges of panels with Weathered Wood DI. The main words were printed, but I so love them, I cut them out with a Nestie die and mounted them on a dusty red backing.
I stamped the word "Cherish" with one of a gorgeous set of Hero Arts stamps that I finally knocked off my wish list recently. I adore their flowing script. I finished off with a little wooden heart, the lovely grey and cream gingham cotton ribbon, cream cotton lace and the silver hearts. I matted the whole panel on Whitewash card.
Hope you have had a good weekend.

The card is absolutely beautiful Elaine. You have made all the elements work so well together and I love the 'country kitchen' look. The whole thing is really lovely and knowing who it was for, I'm positive it will be treasured.
