Good morning blogging friends! For my project I created a wall hanging using one of the album pages from Chipboard Album Style C from Want2Scrap™.

For the center image I used CL-02195 Greetings from Paris and S4-190 Labels Four to create the die cut. Then I used Distress Inks to add the color, inked the edges in Rich Cocoa and added Pralines & Cream Glitter.

For the oval I used Simply Smooth Ivory Cardstock, S4-314 Lacey Ovals die template, Nestaboard™ Lacey Ovals and Nestabling™ Lacey Ovals Moss Pearls to create the die cut, add dimensions and embellish.

In the upper left corner I stamped some of the images from CL-02185 Bon Voyage and CL-02195 Greetings from Paris with Rich Cocoa Ink. Then I added a beaded chain and some fun little embellishments--a trinket from Bo Bunny, a tiny glass bottle from Tim Holtz, and the perfume bottle from Shabby Chic Labels Four stamp set. I added a Brown Rhinestone to the trinket, glitter and Paris paper to the tiny bottle and added them to the beaded chain with wire.

I added tulle across the top for some trim and a ribbon for a hanger.

I stamped a couple more images in the bottom left corner. The background paper is from Pink Paislee from the Butterfly Garden Collection.

In the bottom right corner I added a combination of die cut flourishes, Finesse Swirls Brown Rhinestones, a Glimmer Misted felt rose, Cream Rose Trim, leaves and lots of glitter for some added sparkle.
