A couple of Eiffel Tower memories - ne year when we were in Paris in December they had a small ice-skating rink on the first floor of the tower. I don't have a good head for heights anymore ( I'm glad I did get to the top as a teenager, certainly couldn't do it now!) , so it was as much as I could do to climb up that far, the idea of actually skating was too much but DH loved it. And another year we were there doing a bad smog (free public transport for three days, another yay!), and you could only see the tower halfway up, the rest was obscured in the fog. It was pretty cool, actually. The Tour Montparnasse, near where we were staying, was the same.
For the left-hand card I used a Penny Black stamp (thank you, Margot) stamped onto a Brusho background on watercolour paper. It originally said "Amour", but to make it more versatile I used Paris from a stamp set I bought - in Paris. I also stamped the little heart panel again on plain watercolour paper, coloured the hearts red and added a thick coat of Glossy Accents. The base layer was embossed with SU's Elegant Lines.
The other card uses a stamp from Katzelkraft stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with watercolour. To back it I used somr of SU's printed vellum, partially coloured with Sharpies. Added the Paris postmark from French Foliage.

What a beautiful set of Paris themed cards. All 4 of them are terrific but I really like the cat on the rooftops best. I've never been to Paris - maybe some day! I love old Quebec city and maybe that gives a hint of the feel of France. Great cards Sabrina!

Such beautiful cards! I love the use of color on your left hand card, it appeals to my CAS heart! And the stained glass background on the right is very charming!
