NOW TRADEDThis project grew out of a challenge Linda and I set ourselves. She bought the stamp on the left and we each took a print of it in black on white card - and challenged each other to do something with it. I couldn't manage to use all the squares but several of them were Paris themed, and so this is the result!
The background is a sort of newsprint, because the Wednesday Stamper challenge this week is newspaper, and this also fits with last week's Crazy Amigo travel challenge. I was making up stories again, about a woman who in her youth made a bad decision and married the wrong man. Once a year she travels to Paris, ostensibly to shop, but really to stay in room 105 Hotel Chatham and indulge her memories of the man she really loved. The little fragments in various shades (from the stamp) along the bottom represent the scraps of memory she treasures. This piece is bigger than usual at about 5" x 7" and if anyone wishes to trade for it just let me know.
