I purchased this paper (Graphic45-'Paris Post') and stamp set (Tim Holtz-'French Market') just for this one card. My dear niece has just gotten back from a month in Paris where she had her 19th birthday. We celebrated with her when she arrived home and I wanted her to have a card that took her back to Paris a wee bit, as she loved it so much there! I printed it all out in French, which I don't read or speak a lot of, so I got the words from the internet. I checked it out a few times on different sites, and it seemed right. I embossed the stamped image with a mix of Copper & Golden Rainbow, as I didn't want it to be such a bright gold. I did the front sentiment on the computer too and used an embossing pen over it so I could use the same ep on it. I layered the image and sentiment a few times, scuffing the edges and inking them a bit. Then added a few gold dew drops to finish it off.
