A Parisian Adventure - another Mini Catalogue Sneak Peak

Wouldn't you like to go on an adventure and take a trip to Paris and see the Eiffel tower ?  Sigh!! Maybe someday!

In the meantime, my imagination will have to do and I used plenty of it to make the final card. I think this might be my favourite card.

The base card is Cherry Cobbler, layered with Parisian Blossoms DSP.  On top of that is added a 2 3/4 by 5 1/4" piece of embossed Cherry Cobbler card stock.  The Eiffel tower, die cut in silver foil, is added to this embossed piece.  A small bow made with the metallic edged Petal Pink ribbon is added to the middle of the tower, just above the sentiment piece.

The sentiment is stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink on a strip of Petal Pink card stock the corners of which have been rounded using the corner rounder punch.  It is added to the card front using dimensionals.

Champagne rhinestones are added to the embossed strip - with one lonely one added to the middle of a flower in the DSP.

Stamp:  Parisian Beauty

Ink:  Cherry cobbler

Papers:  Cherry Cobbler, Parisian Blossoms DSP, Silver foil, Petal Pink

Accessories:  Parisian dies, Parisian 3D embossing folder, Champagne rhinestones, 3/8" metallic Petal Pink ribbon, dimensionals.

Parisian Beauty - Amour - A Mini Catalogue Sneak Peak

Yesterday I posted 4 cards made using the Parisian Beauty stamp set.  Today's card also uses this stamp set, but it is a more complex card, a card for the more experienced or adventurous  stamper.

As well as using various layers of card stock, this 5 1/2" square card also uses the Parisian Embossing folder,  as well as the coordinating Parisian dies and Metallic edged Petal Pink ribbon.

"Amour" is a French word meaning "love" and who wouldn't like to be in Paris in the spring.

The 5 1.2 by 5 1/2" Cherry Cobbler card base is layered first with a 5 1/4 by 5 1/4" piece Basic Black card stock, and then a piece of 5 by 5" Petal Pink card stock.

The Petal Pink layer is embossed with the Parisian 3D Embossing Folder before adhering the various dies  cut in Black foil to it.

A small bow made with the 3/8" metallic edged Petal Pink ribbons is adhered to the lower far side of the tower, and champagne rhinestones adhered to the upper right.

Parisian Beauty - a Mini Catalogue sneak peak

Only 4 more days before the new Mini Catalogue goes live.

In the meantime, I've made some cards using the new Parisian Beauty stamp set and its coordinating Parisian dies.  The 4 cards progress from simple stamping to more complex cards, although I have saved two of the most complex ones for a later post.

I have created a PDF for these cards, which you can download free  by clicking on Parisian Beauty
This document contains all the information you need to create these cards.

In addition to the added layers, now add an art piece that is uniquely designed using collage stamping as well as some ribbon.
