Easy assignment today at 365 Cards, just a fancied up brad. I put some stickles on the pink brads, and hey - I can actually find a good use for them now! They weren't something I would normally use, but a little glitter brought them a real home. The card today is oversized, I dunno why. Also dunno why I chose Paris as a theme, as I have never been there (except to France at Epcot !) and probably never will. However, I did have the little Paris charm in my stash, and found the Eiffel Tower card, a fleur de lis punch and brad so I guess I just thought France.
There is some texture here that doesn't really show up - the top paper is flocked, and the one beneath is lightly embossed.
I read a book about the history of the Eiffel Tower earlier in the year, and what an amazing story about the building of it. I had always wondered how the elevators worked in such an oddly shaped tower, now I know ! After its erection it was quite the social place to be seen, with its promenade and fancy restaurants.
Beautiful card - love the image, the border punch, flower - everything about it I LOVE!
