Hello friends! I have a little bit of time before my company arrives this afternoon, so this will be a short post.
Isn't it so....French-looking?
This fleur-de-lis brad started life in a very shiny silver way. I rubbed black acrylic paint on it, then wiped off the excess after it dried a couple of moments.

Colleen

Paper: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler - SU

So very French, indeed, Colleen! I really love how this looks, and that modern garland border punch adds so much interest--to an already very interesting design! I wish I had a good script background stamp. You are always using yours in such effective ways. And how clever were you to shabby up that fleur-de-lis brad so nicely???
