When I came across the challenge at Pixels and Paper , I could not help but be inspired to join in. I can never get enough of Paris .... Sigh. I hope to go back one day. So I pulled out my photo's and this is what I created. Oh first the challenge prompt is ......
I was inspired by the photo of the Eiffel Tower, which of course immediately takes you to Paris. The Louve is actually one of the firs places we visited in Paris. We spent quite a lot of time there and still there would have been so much more to see. So much amazing art took my breathe away. I truly believe an artist is blessed with an amazing gift. I cannot even begin to try and explain how amazing it is to see these treasures in real life. It really just left me in awe. I would love to get inside and Artist's head and see how they see things and think and how they can then transfer it onto their canvas.
I have used the satin seam binding and butterfly to hide a man in the corner of my photo. Satin seam binding and old thread seems to make an appearance on most of my layouts.
The little square grids under my photo are negatives from a word punch out sheet.
I have enjoyed adding texture and mists, always fun to get messy.
I have added some little beads in the tear.
Thank you for calling by, may the coming week be a good one for you.
Love , Peace and Sunshine
