Memories of London museums and wonderful antique book shops inspired this sample.

In the background are touches of Eiffel Gardens (PR306G) in grey as well as Charming Gardener (FF216E).

Added touches of background color were done with a soft sponge and stamp pads.

Stamped lightly is Gorgeous Fabric (TM305G).
