IC299 Eiffel Tower
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Cook22

 I was trying to think where we were last weekend that I hadn't made a card - now I remember we were out looking at cars.
This is pretty much inspired by the Eiffel Tower pendant that Stef picked for one of the thumbs. Not my style and I don't know how much I like it, but it was definitely where that inspiration piece took me .
A2 cream base, sponged with Stormy Sky and rubbed with silver and black Luster Rub-Ons.
For the image panel, I took a piece of glossy card. Stamped the ODBD border in Versamark Olympia Green, masking part of the base with torn paper to give an uneven edge, and embossed with clear EP. Then I stamped the RSA Eiffel Tower with StazOn Black so that it would stamp over the EP. I stamped a Hero Arts script stamp in Versafine Sepia all over the upper part of the card, after masking off the moon. Sponged the *Seine* and sky using Broken China, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Soot Black, Dusty Concord and some dark green above the border and along the torn lower edge. I used a woodgrain stamp and Faded Jeans to add ripples to the river. Masked the background, sponged the moon with Antique Linen, Scattered Straw and Mustard seed and stamped a flourish over it. Sponged all the edges with Soot Black. It seemed to need something else so I added a tiny red fish coloured with Worn Lipstick, embossed with several layers of clear EP and dusted with Perfect Pearls while the EP was still warm.

Sabrina, this involved a lot of ink and stamping, and that takes skill - you really captured the "look" of those Parisian scenes on the lockets - very clever stamping to make the water!
