Paris is known as one of the most romantic cities in the world, known for its cafe culture, art, fashion, and gastronomy. People call it 'the city of Love' because of its romantic atmosphere and you cannot disagree with that description when you visit it.
So for today's art journal page I turned to some older rubber stamps I have from the early days of my stamping life - Non Sequitur. They used to be my favourite stamping company back in the early days and I think these were from a Paris inspired set with a stamp I got from somewhere else making the background. The background was stamped in Versamark and then I rubbed Pan Pastels over the top and the images were stamped and clear embossed. The vase was embossed with gold and the ferns used two different colours of Versafine Claire stamp pads. To add more interest to the page I cut four corner pieces from gold mirri card using Spellbinders Parisian Elements.
I am entering this into Art Journal Journey, where the theme is "Language" as set by Elle who goes on to say that this can be interpreted many ways. I thought that I would set my page in Paris and show the love between a dog and his mistress, as opposed to a man and woman. They say man's best friend is his dog but I think there can be great affection shown by a dog to his female owner and I do think this pair of stamps depicts that. So my page is depicting the "Language of Love".
I notice that Jo has done a Parisian page for her journal also and it is used as inspiration by Country View Crafts for their monthly challenge so I am entering this page into that also. I just hope the words "Paris sera toujours Paris" (Paris will always be Paris)" show up enough for this challenge.
