and what a fun sketch you created, Amelia! Thanks for standing in for Roxy. I have to tell you a secret though, this wasn't easy peasy for me!!!
My card celebrates memories of Paris, my first trip as a 16 year old starry eyed girl on a grand tour, a gift from my Daddy before my senior year in hs. I used GP white cs as my base, stamping SU French Script (retired) in Adirondack slate ink. I used a pewter paper for the cuddled paisley half of the paper. The word Paris (from Prima Marketing Parisan set of clear acrylics) is inked in TH di aged mahogany, embossed in clear. I used vintage German foil flowers in pink to separate the triangles. The chipboard clock is from Provo Craft. I stamped words around the clock from Just Rite little stampers. Words like PASSION, ENJOY, LIFETIME, TIMELESS, DISCOVER, EXPLORE~~~all things I did with the wonder of a young woman in the most celebrated city on earth! I used ribbon for the clock hands and finished off with an expoy flower (Sarah Lugg) and the moments in time square from Kelly Parducci.
Thanks for joining in my trip down memory lane...and your comments.
