Monthly Blog Hop.....................

........................With Artistic Outpost, yes it's that time of the month again where we showcase some of the fabulous images available from Artistic Outpost and this month we are highlighting the Paris Exposition plate.

I decided on a triptych to showcase the fabulous Paris Exposition plate using broken china Distress Ink for the background stamping and coffee Archival Ink for my focal images.

The front panels of my triptych have been coloured with broken china ink and the main images added with coffee Archival Ink. I distressed the edges and added a little vintage photo ink. I had two Eiffel Tower brads in my stash and added those to the front for a little more interest.

I love stamp sets that have a collage of images that work together and this was a fabulous set to work with, I particularly love the balloons.

This image could be used in conjunction with so many others, so versatile, perfect for a vintage piece too.

I spritzed a little water to the central panel to age and give a little more interest to my piece.  A little dimension has been added to the balloons.

The back panel has been coloured with broken china ink and spritzed with water, again distressed with a paper distresser and vintage photo added to the edges.  One of my balloons has added dimension.

My fellow Design Team members have created some fabulous pieces using these images, pop along and be inspired along the way.
