This started out as a tag art and ended up being a card. The womans face and eiffel tower were stamped with stazon black on polished stone backgrounds. The face background uses Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel and Encore Gold ink. The Eiffel background is Not Quite Navy, Creamy Caramel and Encore Gold. The postmark was done using the faux metal technique. The resources section on Splitcoast Stampers has excellent tutorials on these techniques. I have provided 2 photos and more details on my BLOG of the collage background so you have a better idea of how it was created. All stamps are by Rubbernecker Stamp Co. , be sure to check out the stamps in the Rubbernecker and Stamp Oasis sections as well as find out about other fun happenings!
