Couture

I have made a card using an image and papers from my Joanna Sheen Janet Kruskamp Collection CD, I have had this CD for ages and this is the first card I have made with it!

I have used black card stock and distressed the edges of everything before inking them.  The rosette was made from some of the papers and I also stamped two LOTV tag sentiments onto a leftover piece of the papers.

Some ribbon tied into a bow and a pearl complete my card.
