Simon Says Stamp & Show Some Travel

For this week's SSS theme - Show Some Travel, I created a little Parisian shadowbox using rubber stamps from Artistic Outpost's Paris Exposition and Birds of a Feather collections. I also created a step by step tutorial that you can find on the AO blog.

This stamp of the two girls is one of my favorites! They were stamped onto watercolor paper and then colored using a water brush and Tumbled Glass Distress ink. The little banner behind them was created using the Sizzix Pennant die.

Of course, I had to find a way to incorporate a Faux Crazed Porcelain tag! If you haven't tried this technique, you can find the tutorial here. My tag is attached to the ribbon using an Idea-ology Charm Clip and Jump Ring.

The shadowbox was created using an old paper jewelry box. I covered it with Idea-ology Tissue Tape and then painted it with Picket Fence Distress Crackle paint and Pool and Aqua Adirondack Dabbers. The whole thing is sealed with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Matte Medium.
