I completed this (started in Jan 2019 for Ky's ALAD MIX challenge) for Janelle's Get A Round Tuit challenge this week.
I had originally followed Ky's prompts to add a medium (she suggested crackle but said others were OK, so this is modelling paste through an ArtistCellar stencil of Paris), and to add washi tape and script. At the time, all I had added was the French Script stamped on tissue and mod-podged on, and the black and white DPs. Woodstock was also coloured with the French tricolor colours for his balloon, and to be honest I am amazed that twenty months later he was still perched on the canvas.
So, yay for parcel deliveries on Saturday (a new thing here), my Katzelcraft stamps arrived. I stamped the Paris roofs on acetate with Rangers Archival, and coloured the back with a grey Sharpie, turquoise for the copper dome. I added some more washi tape in the top and bottom corners. Ky's next prompt was add colour, so I used my fingers and added gelatos all over the stencilled map, making sure to keep grey under where the stamp would be. I trimmed round the image and used multi medium matte to attach it. The Paris die-cut is cut from glitter card, with the little heart cut from the same scrap I used for the other hearts (a fail at the acrylic drunken reveal) and pieced on. I stamped a spatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge with purple, and added some glittery spatter with my SN clear glitter pen. The foliage was left from my recent baby wipes TLC, and the flowers are a remnant from the Floating Frames TLC. I also added a vintage button and some Dew Drops (round things ;-)). The hearts are a TCP die, the open one is coated with Stickles and the solid one is popped up on foam, as is Woodstock. With the WT this week still in mind, some lace worked well to fill the one side of the canvas that was still open. I spent a while finding the die-cut umbrella from Sue - I had to fit an umbrella in as one of my favourite shops to visit in Paris is Parapluies Simon on Boulevard Saint-Michel - I have three umbrellas from there. I added some little raindrops around the umbrella, cut from silver glitter card, and both there and under the starry glitter paper I carefully added some star confetti from HoneyBee. I like this, but to my amazement, so does DH.

What a work of art. Love that stencilled map. Faving this, so I can come back and peruse at my leisure how wonderful this is with everything you have done. Big Wow, Sabrina!

Lovely, Sabrina - as always!
Very neat to hear that you used to work on a former stud farm! They can certainly be beautiful places (I would rather like living - or perhaps owning - a working one myself!
