Paris in the Springtime

I was in the mood for a vintage design today and ran across this Paris set I haven't used in a while. I have been using the one from TJ Designs most often, but I love this one from Cavallini Papers & Co., too! I wanted a fresh, light design and knew that I could find the perfect papers in my Collage Pack from TweetyJill Publications. I love this week's sketch because it has a lot of different layers. I opted to add the bow to the top rather than a strip of paper or something else.

For the focal layer, I did some collage stamping using a few of the different stamps included in the set. I used Momento London Fog Ink, PTI Smokey Shadow and Antique Linen by Ranger. Of course I had to add the small clock charm because it says Paris on it. I thought it was the perfect fit. I also used one of the crochet flowers that my Mom made me a while back. I realized that I am only down to two. Eek! I tried using one of my SU! retired fleurettes, but the pink was too soft and clashed. Darn it! I haven't even used one of those, yet!

Of course I had to sponge, distress, sew and glitter to make it complete! LOL! I am proud that I resisted adding an accordion flower! I had a lot of fun with this sketch! I know I say that every week, but Jen does such a fabulous job!
