PARIS BOUND

I have a bit of a soft spot for Paris - on my first wedding anniversary back in 1986 (!) my darling hubby took me there as a complete surprise. The weather was kind, we sat on the left bank opposite Notre Dame drinking red wine and eating a baguette and fromage. We saw the sights, sailed the Bateau Mouche, visited Folie Bergere, gazed at the Mona Lisa and had a thoroughly lovely weekend. Three years ago our daughter sent us back there for our Christmas present - January was not quite so kind weather wise but Paris still had its charms.

Why am I telling you all this?  It's because the challenge over at Try It On Tuesday is Destinations.  

Rummaging in my craft cupboard I found an old faithful set by Tim Holtz which hasn't been used in a while - it's main image is the Eiffel Tower. I used a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and decided to do a tag rather than a card.  I used some of my new Tim Holtz distress inks for the background, Tattered Rose, Bundled Sage and Antique Linen.  I used SU Fresh Fig for the tower stamp.  I also used an old SU stamp from Project Life Remember This which says Adventure Bound.  The little tag has the perfume bottle from an old SU Set A Little Love .
