Loved the inspiration site ERTE IC218 and went through all 700+ pieces LOL. Just perfect for the new stamp I purchased yesterday when I was out for lunch and shopping with Nicole aka ButterflyEars! Also for ThursdayÂ’s Ways to Use it Challenge WT256 to make a collage card, and for FridayÂ’s Limited Supply Challenge LSC28 IÂ’ve Been Framed!
I was inspired by several pieces, but this one in particular because of all the red in the background. I stamped the image of the woman and then masked it and stamped the Eiffel Tower so it appears in the background – making my collage. Stamped the image again and coloured the roses red, cut them out and popped up on her hat. Coloured her lips and then added red pearls for her necklace and earrings. I trimmed the collage image and then matted in black, and trimmed again.
Added some striped and polka dot papers and matted on some red cardstock and then a black card base. Added some black satin ribbon and a rhinestone letter centered in a mini silver frame. My daughter will be giving this to her friend as a birthday card.
Thanks for taking a peek!!

Very interesting card. You've done a great job on the challenges. I like your mix of papers and all the elements that you have added. Your daughter's friend will be thinking (most deservedly) that she is now the proud owner of one COOL card.
