Vintage French Flair a La PA Style


France has been inspiring us again this week over on the PA blog.  I adapted her day #3 tag technique with the tissue paper, fresco paint, stencilling and stamping.


I then added the stitching.


And finally the embellishments and the finished tag.

Now I don't normally do this, but as I was reading down the list, all these challenges just seemed to fit together perfectly.

Dragons Dream - TIO - have a recipe of vintage, texture and flowers, and you have to include at least one real stamp, so I stamped the PA french script in the background using timber brown stazon.

**Edited**  I made top 3 for this tag



Stampotique's theme this week is 'French flair', hence the Eiffel tower die image and French script stamping.

Simon says stamp challenge have a theme of 'pin it' where they want to see our pins, paper clips etc, so I've added a hat pin to the hessian, the scroll is a type of paper clip and the destiny tag is attached to the ribbon with a mini safety pin.

Your tag "ala France(Papillon)" came out beautifully, Sam! I did not have such good luck with mine, yet! And, in the end, it definitely has a lot of French flair to it! Bravo!

Really love this one Sam. The neutral colours are gorgeous and I love how the hessian and stitching tie in together too. Well done you on using a flower, lol! For me it would be harder if they said DON'T use a flower ;D!
