T'amour

by Erika Taylor

Anytime I think of the color combination pink, black and white, I immediately get swept away to a little French café. I don’t know where that image was born, but it works for me. When I received this great little stamp from Frantic Stamper, I just had to team it up with some pinks and blacks. And what a great way to use the 7 Gypsies transparencies too.

T'amour
