I used the same layout, but changed the image, panels, dp, ef', etc.
I wanted to thank my friend for giving me a wonderful eiffel tower piece encased in glass that I love. I used that piece to kind of put together the colors and flavor of this card.
Used as much French items as I could, including the eiffel tower, of course, the French word Merci, and the images from the stamping set French Foliage which has the b/g script and circular Paris stamp which is used for the b/g of the image panel. I also used SU Love Letter dsp for the first main panel. Used Fleur De Lis EF for the top panel of the card and distressed stripes EF behind the image. Copper Stickles on part of the tower. Sponged, distressed and used square lattice EF for the corner pieces. Hard for me to make a distressed ard, but I tried.
A final huge congrats to Susan even though I know you have had your crown stolen away from you like other queens on this challenge!
PT: 7 #includes 4 square punches cut in half to make the corner pieces# and the scallop border punch which can barely be seen at the bottom.

Beautiful card, Pam! I love your corner frame pieces - it sets off the image and the large framed pieces set off the inner frame - I hope that makes sense. The colors are awesome and the EF and DP are lovely as well.

Wow, this is awesome. I love the papers you chose to go with this image. It really brings a Parisian feel to your theme. The layering is perfect along with your distress ink. Spectacular.

Wow! Pamzi, this is spectacular. About that bottom punch, though...are you cheating? You said it can barely be seen so maybe it isn't really there. I'll get Debzi on it. LOL Just the same, the card is a beauty!!!!

What fabulous French flair you've given this awesome tribute card, Pamzi! I'm so impressed by your prowess with scissors--fussy cutting that Eiffel Tower must have been challenging. Fantastic work!
