I’m not quite sure what got into me, but I had a “Springtime in Paris” sort of moment the other day:

• Artistic Etchings and Fabulous Phrases stamp sets
• Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip card stock
• Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip Classic ink pads
• Big Shot and Elegant Bouquet Textured Embossing folder

Paris seems like the perfect city for a special celebration.  It’s on my list, that growing list of places I hope to visit.  I have a very romantic vision of Paris in the spring, but something tells me it’s not a tropical destination.  I think perhaps I would need to visit in the late spring when the weather turns warm.  And bring a scarf and gloves, just in case.

In case you were wondering, yes, I did mask the Eiffel Tower.  It wasn’t that difficult to cut the mask, and I like the look of that narrow white “shadow” that the mask creates.  I was thinking about the moon when I stamped that ornate circle, but later when I looked at the image I thought of fireworks.  You would need to add a couple more circles to get that effect, but I think it could work.  Maybe Versamark…hmmm.   I’ll get back to you on that.
