Merry Monday#217 Winter Post Card

I went vintage and this is the first set that pooped in my head.  

It is a retired SU! set called Winter Post and I love it!

I started with the Post Card stamped in Soft Suede

 and the post mark stamped in Crumb Cake.

I stamped the script from By The Tide. 

 If you read closely it is talking of pink sea shells! 

I then sponged the edges in Soft Suede and used a distressed tool

on the edges. I stamped the couple in Cherry Cobbler.

I mated it to look a little like a frame picture. 

I also used some retired card stock-naturals vanilla.  

I only have a few pieces left of it but miss it and the naturals white, too!

I hope you can play along with the challenge over at
