This is such a different style for me, but I like to have a go at different things. This is for a friend of mine who has just come back from Paris. Thought she might like a little bit of Paris for her birthday, hope she likes it. I made this with images from Free Vintage Digi Stamps they have such lovely French images. Some of the papers where Kaisercraft. I blended a lot with Tim Holtz old paper ink and distressed edges. I even did a bit of paper tearing!! Background stamp is the En Francais one from Stampin'up. I bought the little camera stamp from a market I went to on holidays. Its such a good little stamp, wish now I had bought a few more of his stamps. Its just peeking out under the bow and pin.
So here is my card......
I am going to enter this in the following challenges
Simon says stamp and show "what do you say?" Sentiment challenge.
Friday mash up
