This is for today's WT (nostalgia) and FS680, which featured niki1. Monique (didn't know that was your name!) has such a beautiful gallery, full of beauty and interesting folds and construction (rather intimidating for me) and I didn't want to let too much time pass before I CASED her. This is what I chose: SC719 Sincere codoleance by niki1 at Splitcoaststampers
A lot of Monique's work has an old world, nostalgic look and I thought that card was exquisite. I loved the neutral look of grays, white and some brown. I kept her neutral palatte and the basic layout, which was SC719 and used a bunch of LaBlanche stamps and a flourish instead of her flowers. I brushed quite a bit of ink onto the label die and the embossed card base, which is a very light gray (fog). I added some ephemera from some old cards of my Grandpa Meyer's and some pearls. A little color came in with a scrap strip at the top. This will be a birthday card next week for a good friend.

This really is an "old world nostalgic look". You do Niki proud. Lovely collage-like feel to it!
