Ooh la la

 Hello everyone, 

I am back with the second inspiration piece for the May 'we will always have Paris' challenge over at Country View Challenges and this time I made an Artjournal page:

Here's how I made this:

I started with a very old piece of pattern paper by Tim Holtz which has French writing on it. I toned it down using a brayer and white acrylic paint. 

I added some stamping and inking along the edges.

I also added this fab Fleur de Lis stamp by Tim Holtz from a very old set called Paris Memoir.

Next I stamped these girls on book text and cut them out. 

I added some washi tape under their feet and printed the sentiment with my computer and there you have it. 

We would love for you to play along with us but make sure to read the rules before you do and you never know, you might win £20 to spend in the shop ! 

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

 

Paris

 Hello everyone, 

It is a new month again so that means there is another challenge over at Country View Challenges. This time the theme is 'We will always have Paris' and it was chosen by Christine. I have made a postcard:

Here's how:

I divided a postcard sized piece of paper into three, masking off the middle. 

I then used Distress Inks to colour the sides. Yes, it is the French Flag! 

I added some Fleur de Lis from this stencil using the same inks. 

Et voila ! 

 Next some background stamping. I used an old stamp set I found in the depths of my craft room. Not sure who by.. 

I added the Eiffel Tower, of course, it is Paris after all. I inked the edges with black ink.

Lastly I added a French postage stamp and the word Paris. 

We hope you will play along with us, just read the rules before you do. You could win a £20 voucher ! 

I will be back soon with more inspiration! 

Thank you for stopping by !
