Paris in the Spring

 

Welcome to our Pals Blog Hop, May 2018. This month we’ll be “Stepping Up with Textures or Techniques.” What’s that? Projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. Who knows, maybe both! Join us in the fun while we inspire you to “step up” your creations.

You may be starting the hop here or you may be coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I want you to use your imagination and picture yourself in Paris sitting at a French cafe.  It is a beautiful spring day in Paris.  You have nowhere to go and can enjoy your wine or cappuccino as you watch the people. You can easily recreate this scene with the Mediterranean Moments stamp set.  It has the perfect sidewalk cafe on this stamp set.   Use your embossing paste to create a textured background that resembles a brick wall.

This card will surely take the receiver away to a peaceful moment in time which is perfect for their birthday.

    Pamela, I can even smell the cappuccino and hear the waiter saying “Merci’ beaucoup!” What a beautiful card and great addition of the brick wall texture 🙂

  2. Very pretty! I like your layout and the brickwork is just perfect.
