Hi everyone, hope you're having a good weekend. The challenge at Simon Says Stamp this week is 'Inspiration Francais' and I'm entering my Paris canvas which is going to be a gift for a friend.
To go along with the French theme I've used a Tim Holtz stamp from the Papillon set which has a french text background stamp and this has been stamped over the distress inked background on the tag. I also used Katzelkraft stamps from the Paris Postale set over the top of the background stamp on the tag and on the canvas where they've been stamped and then partially painted out with DecoArt paints for a faded look.
Lots of embellishing with a part of a Prima floral branch, lace, pearl string, paper roses, chit chat sticker, Melissa Frances resin frame, filigree metal corners, pearl pen and stickles.
The tag was mounted over the canvas with gel glue to lift it up for some dimension. This was a very enjoyable make and I think I'll be making some more like this for gifts.
Enjoy your Sunday, back soon.

Love all the layers of ink and stamped images. All your embellishments are arranged so so nicely and I really like how you added all those pearl dots. It's those little details that make this canvas look interesting.
Chris...Love Love your French inspired Paris canvas! The tag itself is so cool! I love the background and Tim's script stamp over those luscious colors. The additions of the teal and white flowers and the white lace, flowers and little frame are amazing! The canvas background color is equally lovely and the perfect background for your gorgeous tag.
