If only I could have one of each pillow in that wonderful shop, Stef! What eye candy! Of course, I fell in love with the Paris collage one. I can just image the vintage trims, barkcloth and glass buttons the originals contain.
My DH watched me put together my collage and would look at me with the biggest smile on his face. He said, "This really is play for you, isn't it?" And girls, is that an understatement. I have so many stamps, inks and papers, I am just going to list them here.
Eiffels mustard colored one from PostModern Design on Cosmo Cricket Chicken Little paper. The middle big one is Prima Marketing Christine Renee inked with Palette Charcoal Grey and the small one from B Line Designs stamped with ColorBox raven black, those two on the backside of the CC Chicken Little paper. The Ferris Wheel is the other side of the small Eiffel stamp. It was inked with Raven Black on Basic Grey Mellow Lenient cloud paper. The famous French stamp is from SU Friendship Journey, inked with Nick Bantock Rose Madder and Heritage Seafoam. The moon is a Cherry Pie image inked with Brilliance Moonlight white on Basic Grey Infuse paper. The souvenir is an unmounted alpha from StarvingARTistamps. The Paris is from the Christine Renae set. I added the building collage from Legacy Collage papers and a snippet of Making Memories damask flocked DP. I stitched (wink,wink, Patricia) a very uneven straight stitch and added black staples to hold the pieces together until I was done, but decided to leave them. The epoxied bird brad is from K&Co and the lifesaver (Visions in Ink) stamped with Heritage lavender fields and lightly embossed, cut and popped. I mounted this onto SU Bella paper, the brown polka dot.
I hope you like my eyecandy...it was definitely some good playing going on tonight! Thanks for your comments, they are a delight to read.
Happy Weekend~~~

I KNEW you were going to ROCK this challenge! Look at this beautiful Paris inspired collage card! I LOVE the different colors of the Eiffel Towel and the beautiful snippet of flocked paper! And the cool corner with the ferris wheel, and the BRAD! Yep, I will be seeing my dentist tomorrow to discuss how I cracked a tooth on this delicious candy...or maybe an opthamologist since it IS eye candy! Many hugs and snugs to my fave Mom in the West on Mother's Day!!!!!
