I am back as promised for more inspiration for our Country View Challenge where the theme this month, chosen by yours truly is "We will always have Paris".
Today I made a mini album to show you the sites...
Today I made a mini album to show you the sites...
The album is simply constructed with one long piece of cardstock where the pages are accordeon folded.
The front cover has been embossed with one of the Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folder- Eiffel Tower and French Script Set and over embossed with several colours of embossing powders.
Inside I have stamped and embossed in white directly on the cardstock the words, "il était une fois" from the French Lace set and "Paris" from the Made in France set, both from Crafters' Companion.
The first page has an old map of Paris (Scripted Streets, Visible image) followed by a description from the A4 stamp sheet KTZ-50 by Katzelkraft . All other stamps are from this same sheet, which is not available anymore.
I added colour with Distress inks, either as a wash using an acrylic block or with Distress foam.
There you have it, Paris in a nutshell, real and fantasy... don't you love this undulating Eiffel Tower? Your turn now to create something that reminds us of Paris or la douce France for a chance to to win a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop.
Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Addicted to stamps, Paperbabe and SSS Wednesday, challenges.
A super piece and evokes lovely memories Christine, it's been a year or two (or more given COVID) but always enjoy our trips there, last time was 2017 when Alex did the Paris marathon.

A great project Christine!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning project! I so enjoyed seeing all the sights in Paris and you captured them so beautifully on your pages 😁. The black backing is so elegant and stylish, just like Paris! I hope you're having a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend! Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
