A friend in work headed to Paris yesterday with her family. Her younger daughter's main wish was to see the Eiffel Tower, so I made this card for her.
Stamped French Script in Versafine Sepia.
Stamped the Eiffel tower in black.
Used homemade misters.
Sponged a bit more shadow round the tower.
When dry, stamped and embossed Paris in gold.
Distressed the edges and added to a kraft base, doodling the border.
Added punched bon boyage sentiment, and finished it off with Woodstock in a balloon coloured with the colours from the French flag.
