Shame on you for thinking about looking at my underpants!!! LMAO!! I know it is bad humor but maybe a few of you will get a chuckle out of it.
I am not 100 percent happy with this card but thought I would show it anyways. Been trying new things lately and this is the first time I have ever tried putting a tag on a card. The one thing I wish I did different was use an eiffel tower stamp or die cut instead of a digi. I am not that good at cutting out pieces in the middle of an image and I wish those two white spaces in the middle were gone!! Grrr! I know most of you would just get your trusty craft knife out and go to town but me and my craft knife don't get along very well! LOL!

I think this is fabulous and I love that you stamped across your tag like you did. Would never even notice the white spaces...I think they bring your eye to the tower now that you mention it. Also, don't get along with my crafty knife. Don't change a thing. Thanks for playing along at ACLP!
This is FANTASTIC!!!! I love the tag and your embossing!!!!

Love the post-mark ... fabulous inspired design.
Stacie, it may not have turned out the way you wanted but I think its really cute. Your little tower is cute. I agree though, the cutting can be a pain, but you really did a pretty good job on this one. Thanks for trying something new for our challenge this week at ACLP.

I like it Stacie! I think you did a terrific job with it. I don't do many tags myself but I love the effect! Your Eiffel tower looks great! Me and the ole Xacto don't have a great relationship either but hubby told me to just take it slow and spend some time with it so we get to know each other a bit better. ;) It worked...well sort of. Still not my favorite tool!
thanks for playing along with Stamping Vacation's challenges!
Your card is lovely, don't worry about the white bits!
Thanks for playing along at Fab N Funky
I think your card is perfectly designed! The gentle sponging around the edge really sets the stage, the coloring on the eiffel is beautiful, and the embossing on the BG is a wonderfully accenting backdrop. Thank you for entering CDBC8!
Great job!!! Thanks so much for joining us over at Crafty Sentiments
It's lovely, I don't know why your not happy with it! Thanks for entering my challenge at creative inspirations this week.
