Paris On My Mind!

"Cities Of The World" is the challenge theme at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.  If you need a little inspiration, click right HERE to see what my fabulous DT Sisters have created.  Come on and join in, pull out those "City" type stamps and get all inky with the FSC gang!  Don't forget there is always a chance that you will win a little goodie from Marina's Cottage Crafts.

Since this is also going to visit Simon Says Stamp and Show a Kaleidoscope of Colour, I pulled out a nice assortment of colors in Distress Inks and Markers!  The stamps I used are Tim's and the mini Paris tag is from Invoke, which I came across at the Carson Convention.  I thought it worked quite well with Tim's stamps!  For the background stamp, I swiped several colors of Distress Inks directly from the pad to the stamp.  Once I stamped this on my white card stock, I added clear embossing powder and then heat set.  Distressed this with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.  The sign and mini tag, I colored with my new Distress Markers and also clear embossed and then added Distress Inks for more color.  Both of these were cut using deckled scissors for a little extra interest.  Added a little piece of lace (can you see it, Lynne) and a tiny flower!   The little butterfly was an Easter Basket goodie from my Hubby!

I can't wait to see what you come up with for "Any Capital City" and you have two weeks, so come on and join in!  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you will have a wonderful weekend!
