Well, who'd have thunk! I could have sworn I'd be visiting Paris this morning with all my French/Paris themed stamps. But I took a stroll around some of the other cities, starting with those I've been to, and realised that I could go somewhere else and push myself out of my usual itinerary .
Athens - lots of photos, but hard to do anything with stamps.
London - got a red phone box stamp, London might be calling later on in the day.
Dublin - hey, what's that! Dublin's not on the list. I could have done a lovely Georgian doorway with a fanlight over it.
Barcelona - I just loved Parc Guell when we were in Barcelona for a wedding a few years ago, and am delighted to have found a park in Paris that reminds me somewhat of it. You can see a Gaudi-style mug we bought there in the background of my photo . I used the Faux Mosaic technique. Go me - I even found the mosaic stamp I made last year in less than five minutes of looking ;-). Only difference is I used blue rather than black, I wanted to keep a brighter feel to the card.
I wasn't sure whether to add Liquid Pearls in the bright colours to the scallops, opinions welcome.
5 3/4" base. Sun sponged using the MFT sun die, sentiment is also MFT.
Anita's lizard stamped on card and coloured with pencils. Mistake - I forgot they'd act as resist but since this was already take 2, I'm going with it.

When I first started reading I thought you were really going to Paris. It sure would be a closer possibility for you than for me. I love your mosaic stamp and I thank you for the link. Super cool pictures.
