Summer in Paris

Hello All :)

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

 

It is time for a new challenge at Crafty Cardmakers! Challenge #95 - Holidays.....WAIT....ITS NOT WHAT YOU ARE THINKING!!  Josephine is our lovely hostess this fortnight and here is what you have to do:

Josephine would like to see projects that depict or are inspired by a holiday. Any holiday themed creation will qualify, but you might want to really inspire us, like a few of the team have below and create something to depict a holiday you would like to have, but have not gotten around to yet.

PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE RULES BEFORE ADDING YOUR CREATION AND CHECK IT MEETS THE CRITERIA AS LAID OUT ABOVE - ANY ENTRY NOT COMPLYING WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE REMOVED

 

 

I chose Paris as my holiday destination. Why you ask?? My hubby & I have loved each other for 30 years, (we were high school sweethearts), and Paris is the 'City of Love'. We have never been, but maybe some day we'll get there.

Here is my card:

 

Front of whole card

 

Eiffel Tower die-cut

 

Oodles of flowers, leaves & bling

 

Bottom Lace. I wove the ribbon into the lace first, then attached it.

 

 

Top Lace & More Bling. Here again I have woven the ribbon into the lace first.

 

 

 

I made both my bows on my 3 Girl Jam Bow Maker and added bling to the centers to both.
