This card almost went in the trash several times, but I finally rescued it, and actually love the final result ... it was suffering from DTGD Challenge overload. There are so many great challenges ... and so little time left, that I was trying to cram way too many challenges into one design.
In the end, I ended-up including challenges by TeniaSandersNelson, JellyBean74, Tammie E, MakiJ, & vdutchr.
White Cardstock was sprayed with Mr. Huey's Letter Jacket Color Mist & then two feather's were stamped in India Ink. The paper was actually the *extra* sprayed part of the page from my first attempt (I always use a full sheet of paper when I'm spraying, just so I have leftovers to play with) ... I love how the ink spray is more concentrated on one side. The Time in Paris stamp was stamped in India Ink on a scrap of the sprayed paper, die cut, and then sponged with orange ink.
I finished with some die cut flowers attached with a brad, orange pearls and a vellum sticker sentiment.
I still remember the Sunday evening when I stumbled across SCS ... and it literally changed my life. I paid my Membership that night, and have never looked back. I am so grateful for this supportive community & how it has helped me grow as an artist ... and I, like many of you, still dream of being a Dirty Girl some day.

Gosh, this is just gorgeous, Stef. I'm glad you found a way to rescue it from the trash, although I can't imagine why it was ever headed that way in the first place. Red, black and white is always a winner! Love that little Eiffel Tower, too.
