Friends Get Better With Age

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations! Today I have a card using the Italiana Riviera Collection of stamps, dies and designer papers.

I used this beautiful villa view image from the Italiana Riviera Set, colored it with pencils and mineral spirits and fussy cut it. The wine bottle and grape vine are from the Italiana Grape Cluster Set that I colored with pencils and mineral spirits and cut with matching dies.

The background mat is made using two different designer papers from the collection, adding trim to cover the seam, then the sentiment is stamped directly on the paper.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #207 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
