I love BLING!



{How 'bout YOU?}

I really, really, REALLY do!

That's probably not a big surprise, since we're here in the glorious
land of bling.... {!} But what would be a surprise, would be if I could
type in F-R-E-N-C-H... {Hee Hee} Wouldn't THAT be something?



So, instead, I blinged out a French, flavored card!
Inspired by some truly beautiful paper from Graphic 45™...
and the fact that my dear, sweet mother is currently
traveling, in PARIS! {Lucky HER!} I was feeling the "amour!"

{Good thing that BLING is a universal language! }



So, at least I can say I'm CRAFTING with a bit of an accent...!



... And I'm armed with a fist full of fantastic Want2Scrap™ bling!
There's nary a project that doesn't need to get properly blinged up
for the occasion, now that I know the MOST exquisite source for BLING!
You can NEVER have too many of these beauties! The Finesse Swirls™,
are one of THE most versatile and useful designs to accompany our
huge assortment of Nestabling™ shapes. I adore having many on
hand to embellish my blinged-out creations to their most heavenly
festooned potential! {*Although many of the Finesse Swirls™ are,
currently, sold out, continue to check back! As you might imagine,
these are so useful for SO many crafting needs - so they GO, fast!
Take my advice, when they return... GRAB 'EM, they're HOT!}



But back to the topic of Nestabling™ - {*Swoon!*} I will NEVER get tired
of how BEAUTIFULLY these gorgeous shapes adhere to corresponding
Spellbinders™ dies! It makes be-jeweling paper designs FUN & EASY!

To add a bit of custom color to my Parisian scene, I used the next smaller
Spellbinders™ shape from Labels Nine, to mask off a frame. Additionally,
I created mini clouds by cutting shapes from Post Its™ on the sticky part.
Then, using some craft sponge, I dabbed on my blue sky color...



Pretty.......!



My Eiffel tower was stamped directly over the sky background.



Using the teeny, tiniest edge of my craft sponge, I added some low light to the clouds.



And then with the same cloud mask, I used it to re-work
areas of the clouds to give them a realistic, fleecy texture...




Owwweeeee! Anyone know how to say "fun" in French?



No matter! TRUST me, in any language - building a card with plenty of
Want2Scrap™ bling is the only language we really need to understand!



To compliment my the sky and greenery from the central image,
I stamped and colored directly onto my beautiful d/p from Graphic45™...
Just enough to make a comfortable home for my Parisian scene....



So, in case there was any doubt - NOW you know why I love BLING!

And I hope you're inspired to use it... with just about ANYTHING!
