The Eiffel Tower is one of those icon structures that is recognised the world over. To me, it is the symbol of Paris and of love. I’ve used the shimmery laser-cut speciality designer series paper as a layer over the Parisian Blooms paper.

So have you been to France? We started to learn French very early in school. I think I was about 7 years old or even younger. The junior school I went to had a sister school in France, about two hours inland from Bordeau. From the age of 9, we visited as a class for 10 days each year for the last 3 years of school. Living in London I loved the freedom, beauty and silence of the French countryside. I would love to live in France or an extended period of time so that I was totally fluent in French.

Parisian Blossoms – Art Journal Page – Stampin’ Up!

I do make lots of cards, bags and boxes but I do love painting and mixed media. I, therefore, have an art journal page to share with you today. This one was inspired by the Parisian Blossoms designer series paper (DSP).

I’ve watercoloured the background using Petal Pink and Pool Party reinkers. These are the colours in the DSP. I sponged through two different stencils to create interest in the background. I also did some “ghost stamping” with the Parisian Beauty stamp set. This has a lovely old script stamp that I love.

The DSP is collaged with mat gel medium that you can find in any good art store or online. This is a fabulous medium for collaging and makes the page non-porous.

I’ve finished off the design with a black journaling pen around the DSP elements and the border. The border is coloured in using a black marker.

I love to paint and used to do some watercolouring before I got into papercrafting. Do you like to art journal or do you prefer to must make cards?
