I painted one with taupe and dry brushed with some white then Mod Podged a black and cream paper from Recollections Elegance paper pack on the back and part of the front. I cut out the largest image from the sheet and MP’d it on top.

Paris Plaque
I went a little nuts over some Graphic 45 papers I found recently at a local stamp store called Impress. I love my finds at Michaels and JoAnn’s, but I also like to support my local independent retailers . Share the love. How gorgeous is this paper!
It’s a page of postage stamps of the Eiffel Tower with one larger image. I’d been in Lowe’s recently, making the Lowe’s people crazy like I do when I go there for stuff to not use for its intended purpose and bought some wood “plinths” I think they’re called.

Didn’t even sand the wood because it was in pretty good shape and I wanted a rough look anyway. Finished the whole thing with black and cream paper flowers, buttons and a self adhesive pearl . OK one time where less is more. One. Time!
It’s on a hall table with a collection of milk glass and a few other altered pieces.
Also wanted to play with one of the Art settings on my camera!

Okay...I love this plaque. A lot. But you had me at Impress. You live near one? Can you say Impress envy?? I order from there from time to time--I love that place!! Not. Jealous. At. All.:D
Looks wonderful! I love finding unique paper.
The paper is gorgeous! I love the plaque you made too! Would be very fun in a Paris themed room!

Gorgeous paper, I love what you made with it, awesome!
I *heart* Graphic 45! I wish their stuff was in the box stores. :) Your "plinth" is adorable! Genius idea.

Carol, I fell in love with and bought that paper too. Mine's still sitting in a pile feeling lonely though. I love what you did with yours. Gorgeous!! Thank you so much for being an ever-fabulous part of "A Little Birdie Told Me..."!
I love this! It reminds me of something I saw in an expensive mail order catalogue...can't remember where....
