'Summer Holidays'
We are sponsored for this challenge by Robyn's Fetish
The prize is 5 Robyn's Fetish digi stamps of the winner's choice!
I've used an adorable Lili of the Valley bear stamp called 'Deckchair Dreaming'...which I've had since the stamp first came out...coloured using watercolour pencils to match the pastel shades of We R Memory Keepers 'Whiteout' papers. I used my Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots', 'Perfect Paisley' and 'Moroccan Screen' folders for the embossing...then sanded over the raised areas to reveal the white core. I distressed the edges a little, then added a sentiment (from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp) and some little sequins that came with a Hero Arts mini stamp set. I think the papers are the newest item I've used on my card...and I got those for my birthday last August!
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- Charisma Cardz - Summer
- Crafty Catz - Pastels
- Crazy4Challenges - Sketch
- Critter Sketch - Colour Inspiration
- Cute Card Thursday - Here Comes Summer
- Dutch Dare - Summer Fun
- Joanna Sheen - Summer Daze
- Totally Gorjuss - Yellow
This is a 'Two Post Tuesday', so I'll be back later with my DT post for the Cuttlebug Spot Challenge.
PS - I have candy on offer at the moment...click here to find out more.
