Paris in Spring

Hello friends!

I am popping in with a different sort of cards than my usual floral cards.

Sometimes it's just nice to let "stamps take us to places.....", you know what I mean? 😊

Penny Black - Cling Mounted Rubber Stamps - In Paris 
from: Scrapbook.com
(all supplies I used are listed at the end of the post)


This stamp may not be high on everyone's list, but you can interpret however you like it.
As I noticed that in this stamp, there are people holding the umbrellas.



 I wanted to create a post-rain scene. In that sense, it may still look gloomy yet it is still full of promise. Well, you get the idea.


I started out with stamping the main image in Black Soot and Vintage Photo (Distress Oxide). I then clear-embossed the image and added the background colors : one color at a time.


I still wanted the background a bit dark and so, I applied a tiny bit of Black Soot. This is a great way to practice your ink-blending.

This iconic image reminds me of that time when we posed in front of the Eiffel Tower with the kids in 2007!!  Here is a trip down the memory lane...

By the way, Penny Black's floral cling stamps are still available over Scrapbook.com.
I adore these cling stamps/dies and can play with them all day....
