Paris post.


Sometimes when I make something I have no idea how it will turn out. This card is one of those occasions.
The new Challenge theme over at Fashionable Stamping challenges is 'Use a Mask or Stencil'.
As always there is a generous prize on offer so please pop over for the details.
I started off with the stencils, as you can see from the picture on the right, I used three to make my background, shading with chalks and the usual Vintage Photo distress ink..
The Paris image is an Inkylicious stamp which I stamped onto Acetate with Black Staz-on
Next I tore out a rough square  from the center of a piece of card to act as a frame.
This also helps cover the edges where I stuck down the acetate.
I used an Indigo Blu stamp randomly to edge this layer, again it was Vintage Photo to shade.

This is my last scheduled post, we will now be home from caravanland for the winter.
Once the house is back to order and the chores all done, I will be re-united with my craft-room.
I am looking forward to the luxury of 'space' and having all my craft stash nice and handy.

Thank you for visiting, I do always appreciate your comments.
