My family is from the Alsace-Lorraine area; from what I understand, sometimes considered German, sometimes French. I believe the area we are from is now French, since we have some relatives in that area who speak French. Milwaukee has a big Bastille Days Festival, which just finished yesterday. There is a run at midnight called Storm the Bastille, hence the title.
In looking for some other supplies, I found this chip board fleur de lis. I didn't have much time to create today as I'm dog sitting for a few days, so I combined today's challenges. The oval is the TLC (used the paper towel to press in some texture); the fleur-de-lis is self-explanatory. I used the pastes and the IG on both. I used my trusty old dictionary for the definition. In choosing the colors, I envisioned some of the photos I've seen of beautiful, high ceiling-ed salons in white and gold with some blue.

Love the textured background. Looks like it has come from a piece of old parchment as it has a great aged element to it. Going to go and check out those books now.
