I Love Paris.......

If you're looking for my post for The Craft's Meow today, please scroll down 1 post, or click HERE.

Hi!  Welcome to my blog this fine day!  Today I'm bringing you my card for the Simon Says Stamp challenge this week. Our theme is Travel/Cityscapes - fun!  I thought this Stampendous I Love Paris cling stamp would be perfect, and I love it!


I stamped it using Hero Arts Charcoal mid-tone ink, and stamped the flowers again on a print from Jillibean Soup's Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup, then fussy cut them out and pieced them to the big panel.  Then I scuffed up the edges of my panel and edged them with Spun Sugar distress ink.  I used that ink also to dye some seam binding for my bow.  This scrumptious background paper is from a Bo Bunny pad called Isabella, and I used one of their brads, also, on my bow.  Since this stamp is so big, I couldn't layer as much as I'd have liked, but I did add a doily and some pale grey pearls.

As usual, Heidi is giving away another $50.00 gift voucher to the random winner of this challenge.


You can use it for anything you'd like at the Simon Says Stamp Superstore!  Good luck!
