Kindred Stamps/Beth Duff Designs Blog Hop - Paris

I am so excited to share with you my first project for this wonderful hop that pairs Kindred Stamps and Beth Duff Designs. Two of my favorite companies, as you know. This week we are taking you around the world and the first stop is Paris, France!

The sets I used were, Kindred Stamps "You're Purrfect" and Beth Duff Designs "Adventures Abroad - Paris". For the background, I used a Tim Holtz music note stencil, a ripped paper, and a few different inks! The pink and yellow are Distress Inks, the blue and purple are VersaFine inks, and the grays for the ground are Altenew inks. I was inspired by pictures of Paris at sunset and used the ripped paper over top of the stencil to create a unique sky.  

From Adventures Abroad Paris, I stamped the Eiffel Tower and colored it using multiple shades and tones of gray Copic. I glued it directly onto the background, a little below the beginning of the gray blended ink for the ground. 

From You're Purrfect, I colored up each of the three kittens. I wanted them each to have a different color so they didn't meld together on the card. I placed the kittens in front of the tower, a little offset. 

I layered the finished background onto a pink piece of cardstock, then put all of it on a white card base. I finished the card off with the sentiment, I used "You're Purrfect" from the KS set, and "Amore" from the BDD set!
