Parisian Birthday
Here's a snapshot of me on my last trip to Paris. Come to think of it, last time I was in Paris I had curly hair like that (a looong time ago, in the days before GHDs).
I've used this juicy colour scheme from ColourQ:
I'm also entering it into Simon Says Monday Challenge, brought to you by the letter 'J'. My J is journey. Or junk - see below.
I'm also playing along at Mixed Media Monthly Challenge - Around The House. Rachel is challenging us to use items around the house to create texture. I used an old iTunes gift card to create the black lines. Originally I just made vertical lines, but it made it look like it was raining, so I added horizontal lines, which give it more texture.
You're looking rather chic and elegant here Shirley ... the Parisien stamped collage suits you ... very cool! Anita :)
