Hmmm, this is one when the idea was better than the end result.
Thanks to Peggy (marilynprestonn) I had the perfect image for the Paris cushion that was one of the images Stef put up for us. Gosh, it seems a lot longer ago than 6 weeks since we were there...
The base is an A2 card, covered with some 12x12 paper with French small ads on it. Then there is a layer from a bag from some museum shop in Paris, and then the image, which I coloured with distress inks sponged on. I added some spare photo corners from the box on my desk, thinking that they reflected the shape of the Eiffel Tower - think that's where I started to go wrong. I added some fibre up the sides and little gold triangles at the top, and a Vive la France sentiment. I think I shall salvage the image and start again, but such as it is, this is my inspiration card. Thanks for a trip down memory lane with that wonderful site, Stef.

Oh, Sabrina this is Wonderful! I don't think you went wrong with the corner pieces. In fact, the first thing I thought was how those are perfect with the tower. I love this card!
