Shabby Carte Postale

This was my creation for today's SCS card sketch challenge.  It all started with going through my mounds of hoarded designer paper.  I focused on the piece of Enchante dp and built my card from there.

I stamped flourish image from the Carte Postale set in close to cocoa ink on a small sage shadow mat.  I pulled chocolate chip ink off the edges and then distressed them.  I matted this piece of cardstock on chocolate chip and added copper brads to each corner. 

I ticket corner punched the corners of the Enchante dp and pulled chocolate chip ink off the edges.  I stamped the "Mon Amie" sentiment in close to cocoa ink in the lower right corner.  The dp was matted with a distressed piece of sage shadow cardstock and a large chocolate chip mat.  Chocolate chip ink was pulled off the edges of the sage shadow mat and copper brads were added to the corners.

The large shadow mat was stamped with images from the Carte Postale stamp set in sage shadow and white craft ink.  I added a row of piercing to the top and bottom of the cardstock and distressed these two edges.  Chocolate chip ink was pulled off all edges of this mat and it was adhered to the chocolate chip card.  The small mats where adhered to the large sage shadow mat. 

I embossed the bird image from the Carte Postale set with white ep on the Enchante dp.  I cut the image out and used dimensionals to attach it in the center of the two panels on my cardfront.
