French Vintage Spring and a giveaway

A friend of mine found this image in a little shop in our village. I don't see why I should not share it so that you can have fun with it too on your cards.
The lovely LIN sent me this Spring definition stamp from Hero Arts. I am so happy with it! It has been on my wishlist for more than two years but I could never find it on Ebay and its just too darn expensive to order in the U.K; as it consists of four stamps of all seasons. But I am very happy to have one now which I can use on my cards. These sort of stamps are so versatile. First up is this card, which is meant to be a bit romantic.. It is so French too, as it really looks like this where I live. I used a Pink Paislee stamp to decorate the edges. (She is reading a love-letter :))


Here is the freebie - I do not know about quality or size, I only hope that if you download it, it is usable to you. I am not a star in technical issues.


If you do succeed in making a card with this image, link ik here in a comment and I will send one person some Pink Paislee papers to create with.

    Such a beautiful card - that image is so poetic. In fact, it reminds me of Tennyson's 'The Lady of Shalott'. One of my very favourite poems ;)
    TFS, hugs, Ruth S
