Paris Postcard

Here is my latest DT piece for CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS using the Spellbinders JustRite stamp sheet, it should have been posted last week but life is still getting in the way of crafting and blogging.
I started by colouring a piece of card with milled lavender distress ink then I embossed it with a Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder. I went over the raised areas and edges with scattered straw and walnut stain distress ink. All the images have been stamped with walnut stain, the two main images were stamped onto card that had been diecut with a Spellbindes die. I wrapped ribbon round the images and added a stamped fleur de lis to one and an Eiffel Tower charm to the other and I tied some ribbon along the fold.
