If you'd like to see a couple more pix of this card, just pop on over to my blog, Dietrich Designs.
TFL!

Oui La La (I can't spell these things is why I never use them but you know what I mean LOL). Bonjour Colleen, this is very tres chic. I love Parisan things and wish I knew more French words - two years of French in HS doesn't help when 34 years have passed by. Hugz!

C'est Magnifique! Ooo you would love what I picked up tonight. I am going to have to share with you. As a matter of fact, I though of you when I looked at it. It seems this is the new style this year. I don't think "steampunk" took off that much, but the french influence in stamps is coming. And you are ahead of us already...lol This is beautiful. Such a pretty border and the buttons are darling. I just love it!

Ooh La La - I love everything Parisian Colleen and you have amassed a beautiful array of the "Parisian" feel. I'm from a British background, but visited Paris 5 years ago and fell in love. Beautiful work!
