Ooh La La… zee French poodle
I just love this set! The new Lizzie Anne Designs Ooh La La stamp set. I can’t put it down! I know I should move on and feature some of the other new sets but I’m groovin with this one right now. Hope you can put up with a few more! LOL There is a couple more still to come! 
I’m just had to call it zee French Poodle… I’m not sure if any of you have ever watched Veggie Tales and have seen zee French Peas that talk with a darling accent. Little green peas that have a beret on their head. They crack me up! My kids love Veggie Tales..they are hilarious and always have a great message. Even my husband and 17yo son will sit and watch when i pick up a new release. Shhhh…don’t let them know I told you!
Zee French Poodle
For this design, I was inspired by this piece of patterned paper that was on my desk leftover from another design project. Soooo….pretty and it looks pretty French in style to me. of course…what do I know?! LOL But still! What do you think? It’s by Rhonna Farrer for Autumn Leaves and I just love the Purely Pomegranate and Soft Sky color combo…matches perfectly! I wanted to break up the layout for this design with another layer but didn’t want to cover up the beautiful paper…what to do? I just layered it on top of itself! LOL And it seems to work!
For the main image…I just had to try out this beautiful scalloped box stamp. The little poodle (and the other coordinating stamps) all fit perfectly into it. I colored around the poodle by watercoloring with Soft sky ink and then the frame was painted with the Purely Pomegranate. The little dots were a little tricky to color around so I pulled out my Signo white gel pen and it was easy to make them white again.
Wrapped around the inner patterned paper layer is a beautiful May Arts ribbon…love it! The Ooh la la sentiment is stamped onto a small scrap of Soft Sky paper and then inked and stitched to the design over the ribbon. I always love a little embellishment and so… a dollar store brad fills the center of a lovely white Prima flower.
