I coloured the background of my card with several TH Distress inks and then stamped the Fleur de lys, from a Paperartsty set - Egg and Nog #. The main image a Crafty Individuals stamp -CI 260 - was laid on several complimentary layers, tied with a ribbon, 3 black gems added.

Fluer de Lys
Continuing our lovely month in France, at Make My Monday, this week our challenge is to use the Fleur de Lys - a French Lily, used throughout Europe but is known particularly for it's use by the French monarchy in history, continuing to be popular in use today. There were some wonderful entries last week and I again look forward to viewing your blogs and your entries for this week. Maybe these topics are a little more challenging but please do have a go, for learning and experimenting, pushing the boundaries can be fun.

ReplyDeleteFabulous background stamping Caz!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment Caz - it's so appreciated! I have to say I love that image you've used and the colours are just gorgeous - right up my street! The other thing I really like is the way you used your fleur de lys image randomly placed in the background - a great idea!
