Simon Says choose a word . . .

If you know me then you know I love Paris.  What better word to choose for this week's theme at Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge blog.

 

The city of lights conjures up all sorts of fabulous images.

Pink Paislee's Daily Junque map paper allowed me to pinpoint Paris on this card front.

 

Using Tim Holtz Reflections, I stamped on a piece of mica with Tsukineko's Black Staz-On.  The stamp is printed backwards, which is fabulous to use on mica or anything that is transparent.  Once the ink dries, you can turn the piece over and the writing is in the correct order.

For Paris symbols, I turned to Stampers Anonymous Fleur de Lis stamp and Graphic 45's Paris stamp from the Curtain Call. Both images were stamped with Memento Black ink.  I then used a Copic Marker to color in the fleur de lis. (I like Memento ink for stamping whenever I'm going to use Copic Markers.)

I added my word by first die-cutting a banner with Spellbinders Banners Basic 2.   Maya Road mini letters were added to the banner and then finished off PARIS with Ice Stickles to replicate the *city of lights*.

Now it's your turn!

Good morning Nancy. Your Paris piece is so nice. I love the layers of papers and elements you chose to use on this. So pretty! The little banner across the front is the perfect finishing touch. Love the ice stickles. <3 Candy
