Added a bit of frantage with my versamark pen on the bricked e.f. I sponged the e.f. with fired brick oxide. Distressed and sponged all edges with walnut stain. Cut sentiment in cherry cobbler and in brushed gold. Dessert was twine and I used that to tie my leafy branches together.

Pretty Shirl! Nicely done, I like the distressing you've done to the bricks. It adds character. Lovely die cuts as well, the font on your sentiment is perfect.

Oh, Shirl.....your brick wall is Fabulously created! Such yummy use of these colors! I like how the orange matting pops against the cherry and your greenery is perfectly placed in the corner tied together with twine~

The embossed brick wall is terrific with an aged look. Love the die-cut branches and how you used the twine. Die-cut sentiment looks great. Well done with no stamps. TFS

Oh my, do I ever love this card Shirl! The colors are stunning, the distressing on the brick is done to perfection, the hanging leaves and vines that give it this wonderful Italian villa feel, and your gorgeous die cut sentiment add up to a stunning card! I love everything about your gorgeous card Shirl! Hugs! ~Karen.
