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

Good idea pimping the DP to add a grungy look Glennis and a nice thought of Paris in the Spring, many thanks for joining us at We Love4 Stamping this month.
