Stamp Annie Thing Reveal Day #2- Ooh La La!

Welcome back to day 2 of the Stamp Annie Thing June stamp release and blog hop.
If you have come from Annie's Blog, then you're in the right spot. If you just happened to stop by and want to start from the beginning of our mini release day hop, please click here

Today the design team is revealing the newest stamp set over at Stamp Annie Thing called Ooh La La!. This stamp set reminds me of the wonderful weekend I spent with my friends many years ago in Paris. 
I used  the sophisticated french girl image, Brittney for my card today. She looks a bit sassy don't ya think. I paper pieced her outfit and added some glossy accents for her patent leather shoes and matching handbag.  Brittney's quite the fashionista as she strolls by the Eiffel tower, another great image from this stamp set. 


This set is perfect to go with all those fabulous french themed papers I see invading the paper market these days. I am guilty of picking up many of them myself just to be able to use this adorable stamp set with them. 

Here's what the whole stamp set looks like which will be available to purchase tomorrow.

Die Cuttin' Diva's Challenge - Purple and Pearls.

It's time for another great Die Cuttin' Diva's weekly challenge.
The challenge this week is Purple and Pearls. Not too hard, so I thought, but this one really had me stumped. I don't use a lot of purple as a rule so I found this quite challenging.
I used a die cute that was a freebie from Miss Kate's Cuttables a few weeks ago. You can still snag it for 50 cents however. 
I used dark purple as my card base and for the mats behind all the other papers. I added some doodles with my white pen and some sparkle with my gel sparkle pen as well.

I look forward to seeing what you create this week.
