Fleur de Lys Take Two

Two posts in one day, but I just had to go ahead and make a more appropriate card for the Make My Monday challenge.  Backing paper is again from Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby collection but with more obvious french text; the same Cuttlebug fleur de lys embossing folder using Coredinations blue card sanded to reveal the kraft core.  I remembered I had a Spellbinders fleur de lys die set as well so I cut out some kraft card to layer the Arc de Triomphe image (stamp from Chocolate Baroque). Next time I have the bright idea of covering more than one challenge at a time I will try to ensure that my brain is properly in gear before I start!!
At least I have another card  to pop into my 'cards suitable for men' box.

    I really like the Kraft card against the scuffed Coredinations. A match made in heaven I think, lol! The Fleur de Lys both embossed and die cut look so classy.

    Another beautiful card in gorgeous tones! I so love that folder you use and love how you've sanded it to give a distressed look (just love this look). Well done for producing too - your idea of combining two challenges is something I often try to do - at least you made it on time, I'm normally late for one or the other!

    Super combination of blue & kraft/brown. I'm very partial to fleur de lys images & love the way you framed Notre Dame. I know what you mean about multi-tasking; you sometimes end up doing more than you bargained for. Simplify the little chattering imp cries......... or you'll have to do it all over again. I never learn but that's another story.
