My third (and I'll try to make it my last) card for this week's Tickle a Teapotter challenge: Sing, Sing a Song. You can find the challenge Here.
For the base, I sponged distress inks onto white card - mustard seed, peacock feathers, shabby shutters, wild honey, tumbled glass, tattered rose, spun sugar. Stamped Art Neko Paris collage with black, then cleaned stamp and partially stamped with Delicata gold.
Then I embossed the piece with Cuttlebug KassieÂ’s Brocade, sponged more colour over a la Faux Patina, then Encore Gold and gold EP. Stitched with thick black thread. Edged with white EP, two layers.
Added shabby white and aged teal chunky EP. Bicycle RAK, popped up on foam, and Sizzix flower branch with QuicKutz leaves. I spent ages trying to add a sentiment to this, and a little gold heart, but DH said "just no". So to add a little more dimenesion, I burnished the Eiffel Tower from the back with a stylus, and rubbed some Craft-T rub-ons over it. The word Paris on the collage is also highlighted with clear Nuvo drops.
We were in Paris last month for my birthday, and the cherry blossoms and horse chestnut trees were in full bloom. But I don't just love Paris in the springtime, I love it almost any time of the year. On a cold, crisp day in December it's just wonderful.
