Mouthwatering in French



This card is cased from a card Mary Brown did – except for the sentiment.  I needed something is french and since my stamps are limited in french – I had to match an idea with what I had.  This is (loosely)  translated as “Just for you so you don’t have to share.”

Stamp set – Mouthwatering, Arriere-pensees
card stock – Whisper White, Lucky Limeade
Ink – Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Chocolate Chip
Etc – Dotted embossing folder, Labels Framelit die, Melon Mambo dotted ribbon
