Neat sketch! To use the images I chose, I flipped the sketch and fudged a little on the sentiment strip measurements. Hope a tiny bit of tweaking is okay.
BG: I stamped the image on PTI vintage cream. I bent/wrinkled it a little and also tore a few areas to fold and roll. I distressed the folds and edges w/Ranger Vintage Photo. I applied Tombo tape runner to the top, center and bottom and pressed it down hard enough in several areas to secure it--but--still left it a little bit raised. I put All Night Media dimensionals behind the ink bottle and pen to "lift" it off the bg., but glued the sentiment strip flat. Just in case you wanna know.
I was going to put a decorative brad to the left of the word "Memories" but opted for a little paper piercing instead. I did not punch through both layers, just pierced to indent the top layer.
THANKS for looking! I appreciate your time!

Gabbie, I love your vintage looking card with old-fashioned "letter writing" and its implements. It is becoming a "lost art". Your card has such beautiful tones and shading.
