Today I would like to start off by saying "Hello" to all my followers and "Welcome" to my newest followers! Where ever you are, I hope the weather is starting to feel more like Spring with Butterflies and Flowers! As some of you know we had a really nasty wind/dust storm and that has passed, but it was something else and left quite the mess behind! On to my tag!
The tag background was inked with DI, Squeezed Lemonade and Tattered Rose with a touch of Festive Berry and all shading was done with Vintage Photo. The background was stamped using Archival Sepia. The butterflies from Tim's Tissue Wrap, were colored on the reverse side using Sharpies to avoid any bleeding. Cut them out and glued them down.
The Eiffel Tower was cut, embossed and highlighted and then clear embossed. I added a little DI to the flowers to give that Spring feel in Paris!
Will link this tag to the following challenges:

Hope to get a little more crafting down this week, but the Hubby is taking some time off and we usually end up goofing off or running errands! I so appreciate your stopping by today and hope you are having a great week!

This is so evocative of Paris in the spring and reminds me of my visit there last year. Butterflies, as always, cheer me up and you have used one of my most favourite stamp plates. A gorgeous design. Thanks for choosing to share it at Country View Challenges.
