CWS June - Favourite City

Very late postings on this blog as life caught up with me and took over!  Hopefully I can catch up over the next few weeks - hopefully!!
Back to the ATCs .......

There can only be one favourite City for me ....... Paris!
I stamped up some backgrounds using nearly every stamp that depicted something Paris in blues and oranges and reds and purples on a previously created master sheet.  I used some of my Tour d'Effel diecuts and some pages from my magazines.

I gesso'd half way up this card and added a few more stamps.  The wine glass was coloured with a watercolour pencil using my waterbrush.  I then embossed the diecut  as though it had the lights up for Christmas.

I added a piece of street map using gesso and added a voucher along the lower half of the card.  When it was all dry I stamped a few more images and then added the diecut, plain and naked as when I cut it out!

I added a piece of the street map and a voucher to this card but, as I was adding a bicycle diecut, this time landscape.  I stamped as before and added a corner flourish to bring the voucher and Arc de Triomphe stamping together.  I then adhered the bicycle from Robyn's giveaway stash. 

 I don't think these cards need any sentiment ... they are busy and have a focal point to illustrate Paris.
Four more months and I'll be there ..... not that I am counting ...

UPDATED:
I received these beautiful cards back.

Thank you Melody for three super cards.
