Paris Card using Tim Holtz embossing folder



There are actually two different cards here.  I did these cards for a bingo challenge.  My row was bling, chipboard, blue, tearing, and 3 or more papers.  The three papers are a K&Co patterened paper background, DCWV metallic paper I used for the Tim Holtz Sizzix die cuts of the fleur de lis and Eiffel Tower.  I added a Jolee's resin embellishment in the center of the tower, Recollections chocolate pearls on the fleur de lis (these are so versatile, I have to buy another pack soon).  I colored the pretty piece of chipboard with markers.  Added pop up dots and sheer and velvet ribbon underneath.


I embossed the background paper with a Tim Holtz embossing folder that matched the dies.  Then I really laid on the chalk to enhance the image.  I used Quick Quotes Mocha Moma.  In the upper left you can see where I added a torn corner of a paper piece stamped with a Jenni Bowlin stamp and embossed with Tim Holtz distress embossing powder.  


Thanks for stopping by today!
