Spring Time in Paris

Hello All,

Well we have had a busy week, been building a shed, all ready to move the contents of our garage into it so we can knock down the garage if and when our planning comes through for our extension. Not had much time for crafting this week, so this card is from my last escape into the loft.

Still on My Scrap mission, so this is yet another card that has come from my scrap bag .... I even found a scrap that I had sprayed with Mica powder, and stitched, which blended in beautifully with the card I was making. most handy!!!!

This card has a bit of everything on it ... the background card has been stamped with a papermania stamp, and I added a little colour using my whisper pens. I totally fell in love with the new "Paris in Spring" stamp from "Stampendous" .... so it fell into my basket whilst watching C&C the other week, I have stamped it out on the blue paper, and paper pieced the flowers. I have collaged various papers from my mahoosive scrap collection. The image is a topper from the "dovecraft - lets party"range .... finally I added some frantage .. ( My latest obsession!!) and a few embellies, and this is the finished result.

This is my entry for:

Kaboodle - Spring
My Time to Craft - Stitching
Pennys Papercraft - Anything Goes
Simon Says - Anything Goes
Totally Gorjuss - Embossing ( I have gone for the heat embossing option, with my beloved frantage!!)
Pixies Snippit Challenge

As Always thanks for looking
