todays cc391 called for using Basic Gray, chocolate chip and gumball green....well first of all, I am completely out of my element with doing collages but I needed this for a birthday card for somebody who loves them and loves the antique look...secondly I didnt have gumball green, so I used PTI spring moss....After stamping all images with Basic Gray, I sponged edges with antique linen and vintage photo and the centre with certainly celery....
thanks for taking a peek... hope you like it....

I'm not one for collages either. but what caught my eye was PARIS! I loved my week in Paris several years ago. It just brings up such good memories. And yet, I don't own a Paris related stamp. YOur card is gorgeous and I'm sure your friend will love it. If not, send it to me!!
