Hi there! Today's project is another card that we'll be doing at my Stamp-a-stack this weekend. It features the Chic Boutique stamp set and En Francais background stamp. As soon as I saw Chic Boutique in the Idea Book & Catalog last summer, I knew I had to have it! I lived in Paris off and on for a year right out of college (seems like 100 years ago), so the Eiffel Tower stamp has sentimental meaning to me.
The Bashful Blue circle was cut with the most awesome circle cutter around, the Circle Scissor Plus. It can cut circles in any size between 1" and 6". It is a must-have tool! It was attached on the card with dimensionals, & I used my paper snips to trim off the overhang.
The En Francais background stamp was inked in Bashful Blue & stamped on the circle, then the Eiffel Tower from Chic Boutique was inked in Not Quite Navy & stamped over the background.
A hole was punched with the Crop-a-dile mid-way across the Not Quite Navy piece, then the Bashful Blue striped ribbon was threaded through and tied in a knot on the side. This saves ribbon, & the look is the same as if you'd tied it all the way around the cardstock.
The sweet flower was punched with the Boho Blossoms punch and a Not Quite Navy brad from the Earth Elements Brads was placed in the center.
The "merci" sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede ink on Kraft cardstock, & punched with the Modern Label punch. I can't believe I didn't love that punch when I first saw it! I use it all the time now.
