Postcard from France


Now my postcard is rather chunky, but still.  Over at Out of a Hat Creations this week their theme is a postcard from France.  As I've used the TH postage stamp die cut I figured it would be okay and thought it rather fitting.  Again I created a shadow box but this one wasn't as deep as the others have been.  The background is a piece of marbling created with distress stains, with a mini Eiffel Tower tag 3'd to it, with a piece of acetate with the French map stamped on it and then finally the top layer is the TH Eiffel Tower die cut which fits perfectly into the relevant texture fade.  The frame and tower are painted with vanilla, haystack and brown shed fresco paints.
