French theme Notecards

I drew the name of a very chic woman for Secret Santa.  She loves all things French.  I was inspired by the most recent cover of Take Ten, which featured French theme stamps in red and kraft.  Here's the result: 6 notecards for her stocking.

I'm pretty impressed with myself!

Retro Sketch Challenge

This is my submission for two challenges. The first is for Jammin' Stampers, the group of Stampin' Up demonstrators I belong to.  The challenge was for an embossed layer, a dsp layer, a sentiment and a 3D embellie.

The second challenge is for Retro Sketch #41. Play along at http://retrosketches.blogspot.ca

 It's fun to use these challenges.  Sometimes they speak to me, and sometimes, not so much!
