I love everything French. I don't know what it is about Paris but perhaps the romance and history do it for me. That is what inspires my card today. I love to use recognizable images in my cards so that the meaning is evident. The Eiffel Tower is one of those that evokes Paris. I used the heart lock die from the keys set (love that set!). Although the lock does have a fancy cut out, I kept that in place for this more solid look.
My card base was white, onto which I matted another piece of plain card stock which I colored with Distress ink in Vintage Photo. I also distressed it. You will notice what looks like strip of paper at the bottom. It is actually washi tape (called POSTAGE) from a company that I cannot remember (sorry about that but it has postage marks randomly on it with a couple in silver foil). Little B Stripes Red/ Blue/ White would also go perfectly with this as these are the colors of the French flag.
At the top of the Tower I added the tip of a snowflake. It looks like a beaming light! You never know what you can use your dies for!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card!
