Ooh La La!

I'm an armchair traveller.  Yes, I go places (Alaska and Las Vegas in the last 4 months) but my strong preference is to stay home.  Everything I love most is here!  The great thing about this personality quirk is that I will listen to your travel stories and look at your travel photos for as long as you like because I genuinely enjoy hearing about others' adventures.  So set that projector up, load up the slides, and invite me over!  

Wait, I think I'm in the wrong decade with that sentence.  Not having a cell phone, I get confused at times and think I'm back in the '80s.

Parisian Beauty is all the Paris I need.  It's part of Stampin' Up!'s Parisian Blossoms suite, found on page 14 in the Mini Catalog (don't have a copy?  Click here to see it online or to request a free catalog package).  My card today features this suite and uses last week's Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge.

I just realized I did not stamp at all on this card!  I did, however, use the Parisian dies, which coordinate with the stamp set.  Look at the detail of the Eiffel Tower die!  I die-cut it with Champagne Foil paper to match the Champagne Rhinestones Basic Jewels.  I also sprinkled in a few Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels in Pool Party.  ❤

The "merci" is also a die from the Parisian set.  I cut three from Petal Pink cardstock, then glued them together using a Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  I like the lift and attention that trick gives.

A swirl die-cut with Pool Party cardstock and a sweetly tied Petal Pink Metallic-Edged Ribbon add elegant detail.  I also used a Stampin' Sponge to apply Soft Suede ink to the edges of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper.
