Let Your Feet Wander.....

 

Hello everyone.

Today's card uses a stamp from Papermania Square Urban Stamps - Chronology (Looking Glasses) which I stamped with Versamark onyx black, and embossed with clear detail EP. I think the verse is from a Unity Stamps grab bag. 

The bottom edge was torn and the rest edged in a black marker.Layered onto a base card which has cogs randomly stamped on it

Paris again

 

Back again today with another Paris themed card
The background DP is stamped down the left side with Stampin Up stamps and Memento 'nautical blue'
I think the Paris stamp is from Hampton Arts, but not positive on that. I dug into my box of brads that haven't been used for so long and found some little bronze coloured ones to use. The snippets of ribbon were cut and attached to the back. The letters in the black squares are shiny silver, and my scanner did not like them at all. It says WISH in case you can't see it.
Challenges
Allsorts #712 - spots/stripes

Romantic Paris


 Welcome

A few free hours today so made this card, roughly following one from "Creating Cards with Stamps' magazine

The DP background had the addition of some splotches of Peeled Paint DI and a touch of metallic rub as well. I edged it with a brown copic.

I stamped the Eiffel Tower (from Stamp It) onto the white scrap that you can see peeking out from under the cream scrap, using Versafine onyx black.the ticket is from a Tom Holtz set, the round date stamp is from PA Hot Picks. 

I also used vintage photo to highlight edges and soften the white background of the tower, and added some embellishments to finish off.

I would like to enter the following challenges
