Love N Hugs to Tracy (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're enjoying your weekend (and long weekend in England I understand?) Speaking of England, that's where this card is going this week as it's my girlfriend's Birthday coming up. I wanted to create a shabby look but didn't want to add too many embellishments as it's cheaper to send if it's flatter. I used a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary which I have used before (see below).
