Happy New Year, I do hope you've had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed all the festivities, and now it's time to get back to normal.
I've not had much crafting or blogging time over the holidays till this afternoon, and I've finally finished this card which had been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks. I've used a combination of Artistic Outpost Paperboy and Paris Exposition stamps with some careful masking of the 'gents' who should have been on the main image. All colouring was done with distress inks, and my little flowers were made with the Tiny tattered florals.

Well that's all from me, but I'll be catching up with you over the next day or so.

Are you wanting to travel - do you have your eye on Paris? Your card is wonderful and puts me right in the mood to read about life in the 1800's. I really don't want to go to Paris mainly because I no longer have the desire to visit big cities. Oh dear, I am afraid I am rambling.
