IBS's new French Background stamps and Big Notes in French II—vintage French rooster card

Our Inspired by Stamping June release designer sneak peeks continue. Today our creative ladies are using stamps from the new French Backgrounds and Big Notes in French II sets. When I saw French Backgrounds' chicken wire background stamp, I knew I had to use it for my release project! I stamped on blank vintage paper to create my chicken wire paper. The paper then made me think of the French rooster—the symbol of France—so I chose a vintage rooster image to use with my paper.

Carrying on with the French theme, I used the fleur de lis stamp from IBS's Washi Tape set along the bottom of the card. Doesn't this and the background stamp look just like true printed vintage paper?! I think these stamps are amazing!

I used the Merci Beaucoup sentiment from the new Big Notes in French II set on the front of the card. I have ALL the IBS "Big" sets. Really truly, you just can't beat these for value. They work inside or outside your card. Inside the card I used another "Big" sentiment—gratitude always—from IBS's Big Notes II set. I used a bit of my leftover chicken wire paper at the bottom of the inside as a border.

Some black paper twine and a fleur de lis charm complete the French theme.
