It is my first attempt at one of Makeeshabyl's sketch challenges where I actually am playing along. So above is the sketch #13 and below is my challenge entry.
When I saw it I instantly thought squares of textured patterned paper = Parisian Breeze Specialty Designer Series Paper!Why is it so special you ask?
It is double sided, printed on textured, cover-weight cardstock which means it is really thick and tactile - you just want to touch it.I have cut the three squares with my square punch, mounted them on black cardstock and raised them up on dimensionals to give them height.
The sketch has has a horizontal strip on the side so I used my Eyelet border punch to make a frilly piece of black lace (I thought it went with the french Parisian theme)... and then wrapped a piece of Pacific Point grosgrain ribbon around the side. Which I have threaded through a styled silver slide for a extra focal point.
