This card was another commissioned card. My friend wanted one like another in my gallery, but with a "new home" sentiment.
I used a similar design and added a few things. For aging the different pieces, I stamped some script on one piece, and sponged another one. The Provencal buildings are coloured in SU pastells. The brad is K&Co (ordered from Impress Rubber Stamps). The "postage stamps" are from a sheet of faux postage designer paper. I cut out each of the "stamps" with my postage edge scissors. I love the timeworn feel of this card, but I always struggle with collages and getting the composition right. I have a lot to learn but I'm having fun along the way
