Oui, oui. We are going to France for the tea party this week. Or at least we're pretending to go to France where we might see something like this......
We have a guest hostess this week, Philsmom. You can visit her gallery by clicking here. She has written a lovely poem for the challenge this week and asked us to bring things that are French.
The card that I came up with is a conglomeration of images that came from sets that had French images or names, like Carte Postale (retired) and Artistic Etchings. I used the retiform technique.
My color choices for this are Marina Mist, Wisteria Wonder and Rich Razzleberry. I sponged and stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla cs and then layered onto Rich Razzleberry and a Wisteria card base.
The lace was added by punching a couple of small holes and taking a stitch at the corners of that center shape. I just taped down the ends of the thread on the back.
I should be visiting the gallery and commenting but I have had a very trying day week and I'm going to get some rest. Hope you will check it out.
Get some rest - it's more important than comments :D. I just love your colours and use of retiform on this - and the way the swallow is tugging at the ribbon. Just like music and birds, French on a card is always going to get me.
