...Moi? Non! LOL Actually, I can order a ham and cheese sandwich and a coffee with milk in French, sadly that is the limit of my capabilities...call it too much dossing about in school... Anyways.. I am not here to talk about my linguisticly challenged brain... I am here to show you this card I made using some fabby Paris themed stamps by TJ Designs, which are available from The Stamp Attic.
The card is actually a postcard on a card... that was the plan when I set off with it this morning anyway as the theme for the Lots To Do Challenge this week is Mail Art. I used some cream textured cardstock and covered it with a combo of Ginger, Rust and Butterscotch Adirondack Dye inks - spritzed the whole lot with water to make it more blended and then added on some of the stamps. I made a little postage stamp using one of the rubberstamps... stuck this to the card and then used another of the stamps as a "frank" - so it looks like it has been posted. The little wax seal is by 7Gypsies - I have had these for literally yonks... and hardly ever used them! I emphasized the seal with a bit of gold Krylon pen and then added on some brads and lacey trim.
The stamps and inks etc are available from The Stamp Attic... I have some Italy ones to play with now too.. so I am off to get inkier and even messier now. I woke up feeling heaps better this morning, thank heavens cos this week has been pretty yuk. I still need to get the room sorted... I know, those four last boxes are not unpacking themselves you know... Grim is going to add some more shelves for me so I have more storage space... that will be tomorrow hopefully so I should be all sorted by ... er... well, soon! Thanks for looking - don't forget there is a new Sunday Stamper theme tomorrow morning... TTFN... or should I say.. Au Revoir! LOL

Ha ha, not a clue what I have written, neither did my French teacher. I'm quite ashamed I can't speak, or write, the lingo considering I took it for 5 years at school!!! Still my Latin was worse - I got 11/110 in my last exam!!!!!
Luv Joanne xx
