Ooh La La No. 2

As promised here is the second card that I made for the Sweet Stampin' Challenge DT.  As a barking mad French teacher I just had to go for "Ooh La La" as our theme this week and I got quite carried away with ideas.  I would have made a cheeky/naughty card as well if I'd had time and if I had been able to get my chosen stamp to print properly.

Anyway, here is the second card I made ...



I've only tried the mono look a couple of times before (Christmas using a Lili of the Valley stamp and Christmas with a Tilda stamp) so I'm not actually very confident with it yet.  I love the idea but found the shades of grey more difficult than straight black and white.  The Paris background stamp is an old favourite from Rubber Romance and the shopping cutie is Whiff of Joy.  Everything was coloured (if you can call it that) with Copics and the pearls and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, as always.

Hop on over and play with us at Sweet Stampin' - we'd love to see what you do with our French theme!

Hugs
