It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Creations Challenges. The theme for this challenge is Paris. I know we have all been saddened by the horrific event
that took place on Friday November 13.
that took place on Friday November 13.
If you are like me, I truly do not understand the whys of events like this one and I can only hope and pray that this madness ends, sooner vs. later. Let's keep Paris and all the other area's in distress, in our hearts and prayers.
In honor of our friends in Paris, I put together a 9" X 12" panel that highlights some Parisian items.
The French flag is blue, white and red, so I decided to incorporate their colors in my piece.
I have a great Paris themed stamp set that contains all the stamped images I used on the panel. I picked this up a year ago and this is the 1st time I used it. Interesting, I had this all this time, unused, just waiting.
Let me show you a closer view of some of those smaller stamped images.
Did you check out that background, I used a map of Paris.
I also added 3 fleur de lis, using gold CS.
The national flower of France is the iris
and is represented in the fleur de lis emblem,
the symbol of the French monarchy.
The French government today is a republic.
