Hi everyone,
I'm already looking forward to spring! So I created a scene with the Paris Afternoon Stamps. Sweet "Madame Poodle" is dreaming of a picnic at the park.
First, I used the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil stitched rectangle die to cut out a full-size A2 mat from the Subtle Grey Tones sunburst paper. I adhered it to a top folding landscape card base.
For my pastel background, I did some ink blending with Distress Oxides (Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Milled Lavender and Spun Sugar) onto a piece of Bristol cardstock. I stamped the arch image from the Charming City set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Salvaged Patina Distress Embossing Glaze.
On another Bristol cardstock strip, I blended together Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink for the grass. At the top I used the the grass border die included in the Comic Strip Everyday Dies set. I die cut both ink blended pieces with the largest of the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies and layered the grass border over the background.
Next, I stamped the images (the trees are from Charming City and Critters on the Go) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. The word 'bonjour' was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. Since there isn't a matching die, I carefully fussy cut it with scissors.
Finally, I assembled my scene by adhering the images and popping up the sentiment and poodle with foam tape.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're having a beautiful day!
