Challenged by Emma - and Paris tissues

When Lin and I were looking round the Arc de Triomphe gift shop, we found some packets of tissues imprinted with the Mona Lisa and the Eiffel Tower.. we each bought a packet and shared them amongst the four of us, me, Lin, Sam and Emma.

Emma set us a challenge earlier this week to create two pieces, one using some of our new Paris treasures (that was my Craft Barn Q&L challenge) and the second, using some of the tissues.

Here's my second piece - a journal page.

 My background is more mopped up Fresco paints - can't actually remember what they are now, but I then stencilled one of my new (not from Paris) Rebekah Meier stencils (mini specimens) using Toffee Fresco, and then the alphabet stencil I did get in Paris, using Chalk.  I knocked the entire page back with some watered down Nougat...

 ...before placing my pieces of tissue and one of the ATC cards (by Prima, from Paperartsy) using matte medium. I then used the Rebekah Meier stencil again, this time with Tikka Fresco, in just a couple of places, and then the French blocky stencil using Pea Coat Fresco (opaque version).

The alphabet stencil has a smaller alphabet at the bottom too, so I used this in random areas, using Snowflake Fresco..





Now, I have to get ready for Ally Pally tomorrow!!
