A quick card for today's IC and yesterday's F4A, which was 'it's a girl thing.'
When I worked at Target, I sometimes would save glossy white cardboard from clothing. I've had the pink piece in my stash for a while, it was made with pink alcohol inks and a stencil. The stencil is geometric hearts, hard to see the pattern, I think I placed the already wet stencil on the cardboard after using it in another way. I stamped my Parisian lady on it, cut it out then used a piece for the background, having drawn some black lines and dots on top and bottom. I used a small piece of an old doily, some postage ephemera from a card from Anita (a postage stamp is inside) and some Nuvo Drops.
As some of you know, I don't create for specific genders a lot, in fact, I'd say my style veers toward gender neutral and I like it that way. But every once in a while, I can do girly, even though it isn't my favorite. I have had this stamp for a long, long time, haven't used it in a long, long time. Don't know what company, probably out of business. I think I like it because it isn't frou frou. It reminds me of that movie Funny Face with Audrey and Fred. Another favorite movie of Audrey's. Think Pink!!!! I think I'd love Paris.

Paris is Fantastic Jean!! just don't follow the tourists, find it out by yourself visit old Paris, but also the monuments of course, I love the markets and Mont Martre, the only thing I dislike is the crowd!!

Ha, I LOVE that I'm not the only one who brings home stuff from work which would otherwise be trash! Crafters see things differently, don't we? I love this card...the pink blended background looks amazing with your stamp. Fab card design!!

Jean I think you would love Paris and all of the culture and sights although the last time we were there we were so disappointed at the campsites that seemed to have sprung around the city. It still draws you in though. Back to your card...I love the pink and the different emphera you used. The addition of the French postage label from Anita adds a nice touch and yes it does remind me of Audrey too. Great card. Happy day
