I adore this image ... and the look of natural French linen! What better way to embrace their look than with kraft card stock? and a snippet of patterned paper, perhaps? That is where my heart took me for my IB160 card ...
Perhaps you didn't even notice the woodgrain of the table those little sachets were lying on? I never miss a chance to use this old wood grain embossing folder from The Paper Studio! I've added a little love by way of my MFT Blueprints tag builder 3, and brought out my sewing machine - we're getting along better today. Don't even ask about the patterned paper - it's been around for much too long to still have the packaging - there was just enough to cut my MFT Stitched heart!
So where will your heart take you? We're so hoping it will lead you to join us this week! Let's go see how our team was inspired by IB160, shall we?
