LOTV - Little Ballerina

Hi all - todays post is a LOTV card & box set I made using this cute little ballerina stamp that I thought would be perfect for their 'Anything but a Christmas Card' challenge this week. I wanted to use Autum(ish) colours & do a slightly vintage feel. Lovely papers are Once Upon a Springtime by Graphic 45 & are simply enchanting!

...I've inked the paper edges with Walnut Satin Distress Ink, then distressed with a craft knife. 2 of the corners have been folded back to reveal the double sided print & paper underneath. Here's a closer look..

...The lovely Post Card has been cut from the designer paper collection. Edges have real stitching...
