Paris in the Spring Time

Bonjour,

Today I am taking you for a journey to Paris.  Doesn't that sound exciting?  There's nothing like the romance of Paris in the springtime.

I've started with a base card in natural white linen then ran a piece of parchment shell paper through the Big Shot using a Spellbinders Timeless Rectangle #4 die.  The image was stamped in StazOn Black on Very Vanilla and mounted to a piece of Early Espresso.  

The flowers were colored using Blushing Bride & Pretty in Pink inks with a blender pen.  The leaves were done with Prismacolor pencils.  A clear Spica pen adds sparkle to each blossom with a pink pearl in the center of each one.

Using the Beautiful Wings embosslits die, I cut two little butterflies and covered them with Angel Wings Shimmerz Paint.  The card was finished with a pretty cherry blossom bow and pink ice brad.

So what do you think?  Does it make you want to go to Paris?
