Stampin! with Jaydee

Happy Friday!  Or, in the case of this week - Fri-YAY!!!  I am so happy it is Friday :-)

It's the start of another bi-weekly challenge at FestiveFriday this week and we have another fabulous INSPO list for you.  This week we are celebrating Global Tiger Day!  Loving animals as I do, I am thrilled to be highlighting tigers this week.

As always, even though we are celebrating a specific theme, you do not need to follow the theme.  All you need to do is choose three words from the INSPO list on your card.  As you can see from my card - no tigers anywhere :-) 

I decided to start with paper piecing.  For some reason, and I have absolutely no idea why, every time I think of paper piecing I think of Beautiful You from Stampin' Up!  So, I stamped my image of a sophisticated lady wearing a gorgeous hat and matching dress (a la the great Audrey Hepburn) and positioned her in front of what I always think of as a pretty Italian Calle in Venice.  You can see many photos at this link.   

It could, of course, be Paris!  But I just love getting lost following the labyrinth of Calle in Venice, away from the beaten track.  I love Venice - but the throngs of tourists in the main areas are something I try to avoid as much as possible.  Venice really is magical once you get away from the throngs and find yourself in the backstreets.  Anyway, that was my inspiration - here is my card :-)

For my card I used, stripes, paper piecing, aperture and frame

As always, the design team has some fabulous inspiration for you.  We hope that you will play along with us - we would love to see YOUR take on the INSPO list.
