Toujours Paris!

I just love the vintage image sheets they carry at Paper Wings Productions. I decided to do a vintage Parisian themed layout using the gorgeous April in Paris Clip Art Sheet. I had a lot of fun arranging the gorgeous Parisian images into a collage. I love that my paper has a hot air balloon on it tying in with the vintage image!!

I added the title "Toujours Paris" using the Perfect Alphabet Clear Stamp Set  For the background of the layout I used the Royal Melange Cling Stamp Set repeating the fleur de lys and script stamps throughout the background using Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I used the dots mask from the April Nesting Components Kit as well as the gorgeous velvet ribbon and some die cuts from Pink Paislee Cottage Farms from the May Nesting Components Kit.

These kits come in very limited supply, there is only one left of each of them and after that they are gone, so grab them while you can! I love the fact that there is always a stamp set, and image sheet, some sort of art medium or tool and great embellishments, you shouldn't miss them, I always make a point to buy mine early before they run out!!!!

I got out the sewing machine and did a black stitched frame around the central collage to add some texture and interest.To finish off the layout, from my own stash I added the flowers and the chipboard Eiffel Tower and the tags.
