Stamp Crazy with Alison

Memories of Paris

July 8, 2010 by Alison Solven

8 Jul

Hello Stampers,

Last fall I went on a little trip with my son Ian to London and Paris.  It was surreal to actually stand in front of the Eiffel Tower.  When we were there I purchased some postcards including this one which I used as inspiration for a card using the Artistic Etchings stamp set (my fav!)

DSC01334-1

This was the black and white postcard that showed the construction of the tower in 1888.

DSC01328-2

and this is my card using the same idea of squares for the tower.

The Designer Paper is called Newsprint – it reminds me of wallpaper I used to have in my kitches years ago.

DSC01306-1

And another "take" on the same style.  This time I added a pop of "red" because my assistant Farah loves to add red to black and white cards.  She'd approve of this splash of colour.

Happy Stamping,

Alison
