The architecture of the Eiffel Tower is so beautiful in it's design that I decided to make that my focal point on my wall hanging.
After I had my layout for the tower decided I then picked out images that reflect France to me. I mixed the blue and orange together just because the colors make me happy!
I stamped the images on each tile sometimes lining them up to continue the image across multiple tiles. I colored all the images using my STAEDTLER watercolor pencils. After the images were colored I enhanced the tile effect by adding a couple of layers of clear embossing powder.
The background is corrugated cardboard painted white and sponged with orange dye ink. There is a layer of tissue paper with blue and orange glimmer mist.
I hope you like my touch of Paris!
