Feeling the urge to sing "It's a Small World After All" -- thanks for taking us on a trip to see some pretty things on this dreary Monday.
Wow, beautiful work! So cool to see the distinctive flavor of each card.
The cards you chose are all gorgeous. My three favorite elements from the cards are: 1) the corner of Vanessa's corner (it looks like a rub-on and it is GORGEOUS; 2)Nina's diagonal layout. her choice of papers and the zigzag stitching are OMG!; 3) Tesa's Eiffel Tower. I love the text around it and all the sponging and color variations. Beautiful Vintage.
