I made this card for today's Color Challenge - Chocolate Chip, Dusty Durango, Sage Shadow.
This week's dessert is to use a least two patterns in our design.
It is also for Cindy's Teapot Tuesday Challenge.
This week we are headed to Provence (I know, how cool is that?) to help Bodacious the Bull decorate the French villa owned by his sweetheart, Belassiz. You see, there is a big challenge going on to win the hand of Belassiz. Her former boyfriend (and interior decorator), Bernardo, wants rid of Bodacious so he challenged him to see who could decorate the villa more to Belassiz's liking. The winner gets to marry Belassiz! For the rest of the story, check this out: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I've brought along a few accessories that I thought Belassiz might like. I hope these will fit in with the villa decor and be much admired by Belassiz!
Can't wait to see what everyone else brought!
Now I'm off to the neighboring villa where Chanelle, Belassiz's friend, is hosting our stay and tea party!

This stamp looks like it was just made for this color combo.

Well Carla, if this does not turn Belassiz around, I don't know what will! Your paper piecing is stunning, and your papers divine! Love the pearl trim. Completely gorgeous!

How could Bellassiz not love these? I think the little lamps will remind her so much of something her grandmother might have had when Bella used to visit when she was little. Her grandmother didn't live in no fancy villa, no sirree - these have a great nostalgic provincial country look to me. Bodacious is onto a winner here.
