Merci Beaucoup!

 I've been making Thank You cards lately...here's one with quite a bit more detail than usual. But I really wanted to use my "old-fashioned" ladies stamps again, so this seemed a good enough excuse.

The color scheme was chosen to fit a challenge...as were a few other things.

Such as the layout

Lots of sparkle on the lady on the left as well as on the Merci Beaucoup die cut.

Here's my list of ingredients:

Inks- TH Distress Ink "antique linen" & "vintage photo"

Markers- Spectrum Noir, MEPXY

Stamps- Stampabilities "Vintage Flourish", SweetStamps "Italian Handwriting", "Parisienne Collage", & "Margery", JustRite "Fleur de Lis Labels 23"
