Ginger loves all things French, except maybe French Poodles. . .not sure about that. She and my son took a trip to Europe about two years ago; her only wish was that she could have stayed longer and seen more!
As I am generally known for making cards with the person in mind by thinking about what they like, their hobbies, their dreams, their bucket list, etc., I thought I would make a card that definitely says France. . .with the Eiffel Tower as the focal point. I wanted the card to be immediately recognizable by almost anyone in our immediately family that this card was definitely for Ginger!
I have a couple of Eiffel Tower stamps and even some dies, but I was looking online and at Pinterest and found many graphics and vintage pictures depicting various French items and scenes that I really liked. In the end instead of using my stamps and dies, I went with a colored graphic that immediately brought to mind some papers I had in my stash that were begging to be used. . .and, voila. . .here is Ginger's card!
