IC299 ~ Blue Paris
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: SmilynStef

 My card for this week's Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this 1930s Eiffel Tower Locket from Urbanrose. I love the contrast of the black images with the blue background. I started with a silvery-blue piece of Basic Grey Urban Couture Lustra paper and sponged with with a variety of blue inks.

Next I stamped the Eiffel Tower & Balloon from Artistic Outpost's Paris Exposition. Next along the bottom I stamped the flowers from AO's Birds of a Feather repeatedly. I finished with the flourish from this set stamped repeatedly in silver pigment ink, which sort of created a silvery shadow over the entire piece.

I finished with silver & black mats to frame the design.

I hope you find inspiration.
