Final card for the Sassy in the City Relay

I have had an absolute blast doing this relay:
http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.co.nz/2012/06/sassy-in-city-relay-carrie-sassy.html

Carrie is the final image in this relay and the theme for her was New York or Paris.  I chose the Paris option:


I found I had alot of French labels from The Graphics Fairy and chose to use those to collage a background.  I then placed an Eiffel Tower image over the top (also from The Graphics Fairy).  It is the first time I had attempted a collage background and I think it works quite well with this theme.

I coloured the Sassy Studio Designs image - Carrie using my copic markers.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I matted both the image and the sentiment using black cardstock.

Well, that is the relay completed.  I have really enjoyed the challenge of thinking quickly and working quickly.  I so often think about how I am going to create a card for days on end.  I have proved to myself that I can do it quickly when required!  I have also managed to work on the FFF and DTBST cards over the past couple of days so feel I have really achieved alot - mind you I had to wait until the library was open to get to my e-mails and get the Carrie image so had time to work on the other two then.  I was grateful for the extra time given for this final card as the library opening hours are limited on a Sunday.  Now that it is back to the working week I can get more internet stuff done!  Hopefully, I should have our internet issues sorted soon.
