I’m playing along at Less is More tonight (just in time!) where it’s one layer week and Chrissie and Jen’s theme is ‘A Film’ … hopefully one most people have heard of! My choice is a tense thriller, not in my a top ten faves but very good nevertheless and when you know what it is, you’ll know why I chose it! I’m pretty certain most people will have heard of it …
… The French Connection! The French poulet (le beret, le pain, le vin!) is coloured with Promarkers, the sentiment (salut … cheers) is made up of letters from other phrases from WPlus9 and is bubbling up through stickled bubbles from the pink champagne (it had to be pink champagne as a French red wouldn’t have bubbles in it!) The twine (which I hope qualifies as minimal embellishment) represents the French flag … the tricolore … blue, white and red.
Running round a bit to get this linked and another card posted (also tight to a deadline!) … and I’ll be having a tour round a little later to see everyone’s film faves. Thanks so much for coming by, your visits and comments make my day! Anita 🙂

Oh my gosh! I got the ‘connection’ right away! You clever, clever girl. This is wonderful. Pretty sure that this cute little fella wouldn’t hang out with Popeye from the film, though. Gave me a smile. : )
Ah! I thought maybe it was French Kiss – a film with a Canadian connection! lol! I love that stamp – I kept this set precisely because of that stamp.
What a great card! I love it. The twine on top is great.
ooo yes, I can see the French Connection…. All 5 of them :0)
Brilliant CAS card Anita and I love the shadow underneath this plump little guy :0)

Adorable!! Love that image. Great color … and love the simple cord embellishment – perfect! Loll xx
Way too cute – love the beret, the verre de vin et aussi la baguette! Magnifique!
Oh my…clever is right….and talented….and creative….and artistic….and a very steady hand and good eye to be able to line up random letters to make a whole new phrase!
Awesome image! Love the white space 🙂
Very creative! Love all the white space! 🙂
Have a great weekend!
Anita, your little images of these too cute for words critters are so fun!! I love your card and that little duck with the french bread and glass of champagne it so sweet! I have heard of your movie too, not on my list to see, I am chick flick movie person. But your card is just too sweet and you are soooooo creative!
Inspired Anita, the small image is perfect with the little touch of twine x
This is so clever, Anita! And it just had to be that film title. I love how you’ve done the sentiment, and your poulet is so cute. It reminds me of an ad series that ran a few years ago – “Du pain, du vin, du Boursin”.
Perfect card for ‘the French Connection’ – brilliant! I love it! xx
I’m sorry this is such a late visit, but I have been cruising on the Rhine for a week and have just got back.
It’s a super card, what a great take on the challenge
Thanks so much
Chrissie
