Enough - don't want to be upsetting anyone (or rubbing it in but 5 - 1 REALLY????!!!!! LOL)
Used several different types of papers including some scripted vellum. Distressed, tore and then stitched the background paper to the card then added the different paper layers.
An Inkylicious stamp called French Rose (which just HAD to be bought at the Craft Show this week) - stamped onto ivory linen card.
I coloured the rose with DI's and swiped Antique Linen DI across and around the edge before stitching.
Slipped a 'post mark' stamped piece under the main image.
The two different types of lace were from my stash.
The bow is hand dyed and I bought the vintage frame on Thursday too - found this image amongst my stash and cut it to fit - since taking the photo I've added some glossy accents across the pic and am quite pleased with the result.
The Eiffel Tower is made from shrink plastic.(No idea why the bottom half of the pic looks a wee bit out of focus - perhaps I was still excited from the match result!)
Finished with a couple of pearl topped pins, a scrap of ribbon and two flat backed pearls and the inside is co-ordinated to match.

We have a lot in common Viv. I have to make a Paris themed Valentine card tomorrow. I`m hoping it turns out as beautiful as yours is.
You have every right to be proud of your teams win today, `up the pool` our team won too so we are happy bunnies.

You have really captured vintage. The photo cameo sealed the deal. Excellent.
Blessings
P.S. Glad you are safe, sound and happy in your crafty space.
Gorgeous card Viv, I love the image, soft colours and wonderful detailing.
Glad your team had a good result!

This is divine - the image in the frame, the machine stitching and the overall shabby chicness to it.

What a gorgeous card Viv - so chic and very Parisian! The girl dun good.
Anfield? Who was playing cricket in this weather then?
Like you, thankfully we live high up, about the highest point in Hampshire, and although when it snows we get hit hard thank goodness for no floods here. Err, excuse me though - I think a fence panel just flew over the roof :( At least not one of ours, they already are down and out for the count!
Hugs, Di xx
What a gorgeous card, so beautiful :o)
I would rather be snowed in than flooded, so glad I live on a hill!

Gorgeous card Viv very chic x
Well now Viv . . . although I dislike the term "It has the WOW factor" (overused now) . . . I have to apply it to this wonderful card! It's WONDERFUL. We clearly share the same taste in stamps as I have this one too!
Hugs, Sarn xxx

Hi Viv, glad you are safe and warm, we are so fortunate too, We haven't had that much rain, just spells and then dry cold weather. We really don't get much snow either as it can't lay for very long with the salty sea air. My heart aches for those caught up in flooding :o(
Love the card, the Vintage look is gorgeous! Love the Parisian theme.
Hugs Mau xx
Ahw Viv, you make my romantic, shabby heart happy! Your card is so pretty! The lovely papery layers, stitching, soft coloring and pretty embellishments are wonderful! So glad you joined us at Sugar Creek Hollow! ((hugs)) Rebecca

Have absolutely no idea what that racing bet means in momentary terms but have you got enough to pay Miss the £5 per head I gotta give her before Wednesday? Dun want me legs broken or nuffinck!!
Ha. You didn't rumple my stash of serviettes or PVA did you. If theres no bread let them eat cake an all that.
Beautiful card BTW. hugs Mrs A.

Your card has such a lovely nostalgic romantic feel about it Viv, I love it! So pleased you're back in touch after the excommunication - bad Blogger! I bet you're still on a high after that 5-1 score aren't you?! Vicky x
Another breathtaking creation, Viv! It is hard to tear my eyes off it as I take in all the fabulous details you've tucked in perfectly!!
Please do take care and don't blow off the moor top! I pray the rain stops soon for all those poor people in the flooded areas.
Have a great week! Hugs, Darnell
