Wise words are in my book: Avec Amour = With Love
I've several linen prints with these vintage pictures and thought would be fun to make a book card with them
I've sponged the folded faux pages, stamped script roses and sentiment (another on the side) die cut the swirly red linen corner distressed the images and sponged the edges, tied this with a gingham ribbon and added a bow

A special book, indeed, Anita. Beautifully done...as all of your creations are. A treasure for someone with all the wise words about LOVE and the lovely images to go with them.

The vintage linen prints give this book card such a warm, nostalgic presence, and the way you shaped and sponged the folded pages makes the structure feel wonderfully authentic. The layered script, roses, and sentiment add quiet elegance without overwhelming the imagery. The distressed edges, gingham tie, and that bold red corner detail pull everything together into a beautifully balanced piece that feels both treasured and handmade.
