Graphic 45 French Country

Another project using Graphic 45 papers, this time French Country:

Three panels were made by cutting cardboard to 4 1/2" x 6", spritzing one side with water, then pealing off the top layer to show the rippled cardboard inside.  The edges were sponged with Vintage Photo ink.  I used the Post Card stamp by Stampin' Up and the writing from French Foliage.
