These retailers carry OCL sets.
For my card I started out by stamping the Eiffel Tower in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut with Deckled Long Nestabilities and colored with Copic Markers (C1, C3, C5, B21, B0000). A 3/8″ wide strip of Webster’s Pages patterned paper was adhered under the image and gray Taffeta Ribbon (Stampin’ Up!) was tied around it. The deckled layer was adhered to a black scallope rectangle cut with Long Scallop Nestabilities. The top of an Antique Brad (Stampin’ Up!) was colored with C5 Copic Marker and added over the knot of the ribbon.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. A 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Webster’s Pages was adhered to the base. To make the card fit for today’s OCL’s sketch challenge, I stamped 2 1/2 tickets from the same set on a white cardstock strip, colored it with B21 and B0000 Markers and distressed the edges. On top of that strip I added a 7/8″ wide strip of Webster’s Pages pages. I used the same paper to cut a partial 1 1/4″ circle. That was taped on the top left of the card base and topped with a white Basic Grey button.
The inside of the card is kept pretty simple. A 1 3/4″ x 3 4/5″ piece of the Webster’s pages paper from the front was adhered to the lower half of a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Another ticket was stamped on the green accent paper that was also used on the front, cut out and colored with the light blue markers.
If you would like to see another sample I made with the new Art of Nature set, check this blog post from last Saturday.
Have fun blog hopping and good luck on winning one of the new sets. You have until Sunday 3 p.m. EST to post comments. Winners will be chosen randomly. Make sure you leave your email address with your comment so we can reach you in case you win.
Hugs and smiles

I don’t have time to follow the blog hop, but I’m glad I’ve seen this set. I’ve been looking for a good Eiffel Tower stamp for a couple of years, and this is the best I’ve seen yet! I love the card, too – the colours are perfect for my memories of the view looking over to the Eiffel Tower from the Trocadero.
