Vintage En Francais

While going through my craft closet the other day I came across this monarch butterfly punch. I hadn’t used it in a while and thought it would go perfect on this vintage card. This was an easy one to create since the only stamping is the En Francais background.

Now I am off to search for a Paris stamp I have somehow misplaced.
