The paper with the gothic writing is from an old book from 1883. It hurts a bit every time I tear one of the pages... :)
The letters and numbers are made out of 3 layers glued on top of eachother. The edges are distressed with walnut stain, and I've put on crackle accents on them. I really wanted a 3D-effect on them :)

Nydelig bokkort....men jeg tror du er riv ruskende gal som river i stykker en bok fra 1883 for å bruke den på et kort!....(hilsen "strenge" meg!) ;) :))

Jag förstår att det gör ont att riva i sådant papper, jag skulle nog aldrig våga utan bara spara, spara =).
