Thank You Parisian style

Hi!

**I am thrilled that this card received the Comet Award from Papercraft Star on 6/5/12**

I first want to say thanks to all those who have given me well wishes. I am still not feeling great, but your thoughts have been wonderful and with that I give you my many thanks! I also want to say hello to my new followers. I don't take that lightly that you want to stop by from time to time. I appreciate each of my friends very much.

With that, I have a Thank you card inspired by you!

I started with a Kraft card base and added some white craft paint. I pieced together my paper layers to include an embossed panel using the letterpress technique. A paper doily was added and touched with some Tumbled Glass distress inks.  I stamped the Eiffel Tower image on to a downloadable digi from The House Across The Bay which I was fortunate enough to win at a Papercraft Star challenge. I liked how it looks like you are looking at the Eiffel Tower out the window! That would be bliss to have that view!

The Key was stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed in an aqua embossing powder using a heat tool. Some pearls and flowers were added for an embellishing touch.

A length of seam binding was added and tied in a fussy bow and embellished with a button, twine and a sentiment for a finishing touch.

I was also inspired by these challenges:

The Kraft Journal - Emboss and Embellish

Papercraft Star - Aqua

Thank You for visiting me! It means so so much!
