A Compendium of Curiosities Week 2

Week 2 for the Compendium of Curiosities challenge being hosted by Linda Ledbetter on her blog Studio L3 - this week the challenge is 'Basic Fragments.'  I was happy to see that I was not alone in opening my box of fragments for the first time! Mine have been sitting in my cupboard for months and I have just not figured out a use for them.  That is what is so great about this challenge, it is making us use some of our stuff and stretching us in techniques, I just love it.  I went with a Paris theme and used Victorian Velvet, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar distress inks.  Thanks for looking and do check out Linda's blog to see some of the amazing entries, there are some hugely talented people out there.  Cheers!

    Rhonda, it's gorgeous! I love the colors and the tone-on-tone and the springtime in Paris feel-- and the sentiment behind the fragment looks fabulous! I'm so happy you came back for Week 2, and am looking forward to seeing what you do next!

    Hugs,
    Linda

    I love this - and yes, we've used the same colours - even some of the same stamps, and I nearly used the Eiffel Tower, too!!!
