Boy, this was a hard challenge for me...you should see my stamping space!! Papers and card stock everywhere. I took my inspiration from the colors and some if the shapes. I even dug through some of my old stamp sets to find one with an Eiffel Tower!! The dp is from Precious Metal and I used a rub-on for the sentiment. TFL and have a great Saturday!!

Joan, this is so lovely- vintage looking- yet very up to date smart! Great sketch, love the image and your ribbon treatment.

lovely!!! I like how you colored in just parts of the image (a great choice btw!) and your bigger shapes are a very nice visual element! Have fun cleaning up...I feel for you...I happened upon a fantastic scrap yard sale yesterday--- have four of the extra large SU boxes full of stamps I would have never bought otherwise and now they must be cataloged before storing! I'll think of you, Joan while I tidy up my space!

I don't have the Eiffel tower either Joan! Wish I would have....that is twice recently that I have needed it...maybe it would be worth the money for us to get it!
Your card without the eiffel tower is awesome, love how you did the corners...very nicely done!

Well, you're not alone that this challenge is a challenge...I'm still pondering how to approach it ; )
Now, your card: BEAUTIFUL! The challenge brought out a sensational result with the pretty Eiffel Tower and lady stamp. It gives it a very nostalgic travel-ly feel. Love the flavor of the whole card and that fab ribbon slide.
