Mornin' y'all! Guess what? I'm leaving for PARIS today! I'm going just for the weekend with a friend, and I have an oh-so-appropriate card to share:
I pulled out the long, long-retired Paris in the Spring stamp set to make this, and I'll be entering it at Retro Rubber:
I decided to do the top row, with watercoloring being my choice for the middle block, and if you count the itsy-bitsy dots on the patterned paper as confetti then I did the center column too. I've had Paris in the Spring since at least 2007, so 15 years--I think that counts as retro!
I also used the sketch from Fusion:
And that's all she wrote for today. Au revoir, mes amis!
