CSI CHALLENGE # 86 ~ LOVE PARIS

Hi all,
The current challenge over at CSI  is right up my alley, for any of you that know me, know that I happen to Love Paris just a little bit :)
So the challenge 
I had just brought a Apricot Pan Pastel , so was keen to use it as well as do a layout on my favourite City ~ Paris
Love Paris ~ Yes I do !


Thank you Kim for the flowers The little circle trim is from Craftqueen and the Lemon trim is from Marally Craft




The Pink Spotty Paper is from the Bonjour Kaiser Range so that is appropriate 

The layout started out as quite a clean and simple line. But as often happens the creative process takes over and I go off on a totally different way. I started to think about how Paris is a old Beauty. So many beautiful old & ornate buildings. Hence the torn opening With the Pattern Paper (which made me think of the theatre ) and the beautiful Opera building in Paris. I have added the lace and tie back to make it seem like you are looking at the stage.

So for my evidence I have The scallop edge, Art Medium as in the apricot Pan Pastel smudged over the Plasters tape. My Architectural accent is my little theatre and to tie something ~my lace tie.
Testimony
Is to hand write my journalling  about a city I love.
Thanks so much for calling. It is a beautiful day here today and I hope it is for you 
Love and peace
