The Fragrance of Roses in Paris

This week at Gingersnap Creations based on our "Shopping" theme, we are exploring "Bags and Tags" for our weekely challenge. Come join us and use our themes to spark your creativity. There's always so much to see and do, especially the other Ginger Design teams members creations. Well, last week I told you I save interesting garment tags and when I saw these rough canvas ones with a rose imagine I tucked it away for a special project. When I think of shopping and fashion, my mind immediately dreams of Paris and these tags were perfect.

This dimensional collage has lots of textural layers and  the canvas tag was my color inspiration. The background is three layers of paper. The top paper is of the streets of Paris and I stamped the roses by Rubber Stampede and watercolored them.The K & Company butterflies are stamped on transparencies. The tags were painted with white acrylic paint . One was stamped with the Eiffel tower by Inkadinkado, the other has the word "Paris" tiny alphabet tags 568D  from  our sponsor Altered pages. A Fabric rose, some ribbon and a dusting of rhinestomes and I was off to dream of visiting the gardens of Paris.

Hope you can dream of a faraway place this week.
artfully yours, gerri
