Blue Paris

This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the fabulous stylings of Urbanrose (Etsy Site) where they take lockets to a whole new level.

I chose this beautiful 1930s Eiffel Tower locket to inspire my design.

I love the contrast of the black images with the blue background.  I started with a silvery-blue piece of Basic Grey Urban Couture Lustra paper and sponged with with a variety of blue inks.

Next I stamped the Eiffel Tower & Balloon from Artistic Outpost's Paris Exposition.  Next along the bottom I stamped the flowers from AO's Birds of a Feather repeatedly.  I finished with the flourish from this set stamped repeatedly in silver pigment ink, which sort of created a silvery shadow over the entire piece.

I finished with silver & black mats to frame the design.  I hope you find inspiration.
