Bonjour

Time for a few sneaky peeks of stamps that Sheena will be showcasing on Create and Craft this weekend.
Sheena says "This, the simpler of the two sets was inspired by a tea set which belonged to my grandparents, and will be an ideal starter set for anyone just getting into stamping as well as those looking to drift back to a more innocent time of fashion and film."

I decided on a simple layout for my first card, something that is quite a challenge for me but I am quite pleased with the simplicity of this one.
All the shading has been done with Distress Inks which have been spritzed with water and my images have been coloured with Distress Markers.
For a little more interest I have added an Eiffel Tower charm, ribbon and some natural string.

For more ideas and stamp sets pay SHEENA a visit for more details. 

Thanks for stopping by, Tracy x x

Oh so very different for you Tracy, but what a stunner. The elegance is in the simplicity and fabulous colours. The ribbon and charm really set it off.
Have a great day.
