I made this thank you for someone special. I distressed a book page from Kandie, thank you. I stamped inchies from Mrs. O'Leary's Artful Illusions, and then die cut them with the stitched thinlits. Really didn't fit. Then I popped them up with dimentionals. The base is embossed with Downton Damask EF. I window punched the Mercie and mounted it on dimentionals with brads right on the lace. Before mounting the inchies and the sentiment, I sprayed the card with the gold ink. I don't think it shows up in the photo, though.
Thanks for looking.

This is tres jolie Sharon! Actually, I found myself trying to read the French text on the book page. I definitely see words that I know on it. The Downton ef is absolutely lovely! That was an excellent score at Tuesday Morning. I'm not familiar with inchies but am guessing by your description that they are the images. And your lace is perfect. Very nice!

So beautiful! Why have I not thought of using my 1 inch square punch? Since I am so far behind, I just might have to steal your idea. Thanks for the inspiration. Your card is gorgeous!
Gorgeousness! Vintage always have a way of saying beautiful! I'm guessing too that inches means a bundle of inch squares clustered together? Mahalo also for another tour to Paris.

Lovely vintage look. Love the inchies for Letter I. The crocheted trim is lovely. The book page with the torn & burnt edges is a fabulous background. I like it! TFS
