OOh la la

This week's Daring cardmakers challenge is to make a card featuring a foreign language.

Earlier this year I made three mini cards (you can see the original post here) using 7 gypsies baja 'amour' paper (the script has definitons such as dream, kiss, happiness, love etc) and Crafty Individuals pictures, together with silver embossed hearts and diamente gems.

I cut the fronts off these little cards (I came across them today when I was getting my cards ready for Saturday, so I thought I would use them), distressed them with brushed corduroy DI and mounted them on to papers from g.c.d Paris Nights collection (I do love these papers), distressing the edges and adding a different ribbon on each card.

These are also for:
