The city of love

This card uses papers  by GCD studios 'Paris nights' and Express Yourself glittered stick-on decorations. The card blank is an A5 size in the shape of a tag - this is for Speedy fox and friends (Mark's finest papers) 94: shaped cards.

The black on the main background paper is flocked, so it it lovely and 'touchy feely', just like velvet, which has given a nice texture to the card - just right for Paper pretties 192: add texture to your card. I stuck the gold glittered Eiffel Tower over the one in the collage picture.

This card was prompted by Inspired by challenge 10, where this photo inspiration was given:




This card would be suitable for an anniversary (particularly if the couple were fortunate enough to be celebrating in Paris like we did for our fifth anniversary, some years ago now) or even for Valentine's Day.

  29. Hi hazel. I agree with you Paris is the city of love. I just visited Eiffel two weeks ago with my DH. Oh, a little bit snowy and very cold. I left Paris when it was -5 degree Celcius. Can't stand the cold. Your card is fabulous. Love the color combo you are using here. Thanks for playing along in Crafting For All Seasons. See you again next time, hazel.
