Been playing about with stamps again!
Here's today's share
.
It's a bit of a fun, quirky make (for me) and I got out some very old Paris themed stamps which haven't seen the light of day for a long time. I think they were one of the very first sets I bought on a trip to the NEC.
The background paper is by Crafty Individuals. I overstamped it with the various French related stamps, bus tickets, an airline ticket and other bits including one very large Eiffel Tower.
The birds stamp is from Crafty Individuals too (- CI- 544) - its called Three Birds and I stamped and fussy cut two of them (obviously!), then watercoloured.
The suitcase is from another old set. I wanted them to look like they had just arrived!
I have quite a few things almost finished and am determined to try and get a couple completed - for no other reason than the workspace has that much on it very soon I won't be able to even move it all to one side to make even a bit of room!
Thanks for looking today - have a great weekend. x

A fabulous card Viv and I can just imagine the conversation between those two quirky birds! A great idea x
This really made me smile - great use of a selection of stamps old and new. Just love it. I know just what you mean about the work space becoming cluttered but it is nice to clear the decks every now and then.
What a fabulous background and I love how you've over stamped the pretty paper Viv. Those birds are adorable and what a fun idea to pop the suitcase on. Wouldn't it be great to travel again? Your card is fabulous and creative and I love it Viv x.
Fabulous card, love the quirky birds.

Love it! Those birds, suitcase in wing, looking on to the adventures in Paris are great. I can see my husband and I in them for sure! Thanks for sharing such a super card with us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
A fantastic card Viv, I love the bird and the Paris theme that you've given it.

I really like all your eclectic travel stamps, they've made a vibrant and fun card!
This is great, love the colours and the mixed media feel. I miss my trips to the NEC. I used to time my visits to my daughter, who lives in Birmingham, with shows at the NEC. I am tentatively hoping to attend the Festival of Quilts which is planned for July. It will be my first trip over there for 2 years. Cant wait! Fingers crossed too xx
Love this cool card Viv xxx
Such fun, Viv! Love these travelling birds! Aren't they lucky!
Your background is great and I love the way that the birds are looking at the Tower! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT
That is so fun!! It really made me smile - I love it!!
I love this! they look quite wistful looking towards the tower, and that suitcase is the perfect touch!
What a fun card Viv and love those birds on their trip to Paris and some wonderful background stamping on the CI paper and that large Eiffel Tower looks great! x
