Ready, Steady Stamp Challenge #3-Stampin' for the Weekend #11 Days gone by


I did this card for 2 challenges. Ready, Steady, Stamp and Stampin' for the Weekend. The 5 ingredients for the Ready, Steady, Stamp Challenge was to use
Blue-I embossed the Eiffel tower (Stampabilities) with blue Zing embossing powder
Monument-the Eiffel Tower
metalI used stick pins from Memory Makers and cross charm by Fashion Accessories
cork-cork paper by The Paper Studio
Cuttlebug wax technique-I used the Argyle folder

This was a fun challenge. I admit that I went out and bought an Eiffel Tower stamp! I am sure that I will use it again! I had to do what Sue Roddis did about the wax paper. They don't package anything in wax paper anymore or sell it at Walmart! I rubbed melted wax on paper and then ran it through the Cuttlebug. The other stamps that I used are Marah Johnson-Hampton Art. I cheated a little and used paper that looks like cork!

I hope this qualifies as a vintage card for the Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge. Live Well, Travel to Paris and Believe in God! Thanks for stopping by!

    Love the Eiffel Tower on your card Julia, it really stands out in blue and the cork paper looks fab, the added detail of the charm and the gems are fantastic, sets it all off nicely.
