Cathy is our hostess for the WTUI challenge this week - you'll find her challenge HERE. It's an easy one, I'm sure you'll have fun with it.
I admit I made this card earlier in the year, but I kept it in reserve in case I was busy and didn't get another sample made, which is indeed the case.
I used the Elizabeth Crafts pop-up bench die as the main feature, adding a die-cut Eiffel Tower (Joanna Sheen) and some Chinese lanterns (also Joanna Sheen) in the background. Leaning against the bench I added a bicycle cut from holographic gold card ( the die is Joanna Sheen - again). And I used a heart border die from Joanna Sheen to finish off the edge - like those edgings on park lawns. The Dream is from Serendipity, and was cut from a piece of card with double-sided adhesive on it; after cutting, I put gilding flakes on and buffed till smooth. I'll add a close-up in the challenge thread. The front of the card is HERE.

So fun the inside with the pop-up bench and love the floral paper and the pretty border, all the die cuts and papers you've used on the front and inside are beautiful!!

What a beautiful, nostalgic reminder of your trips to Paris, Sabrina! The Eiffel Tower, the bench, the bicycle and hanging lights are all reminiscent of the city of light! Thank you so much for this delightful pop up sample for the no stamping challenge!

Just divine, all the different colors, patterns, metallics, iconic things...I doubt I'll ever get to Paris or any where European but your card will help me dream.
