Travel

A very quick post today with this card. I have used a stamp set from Recollections called Going Places, and the background is a very useful stamp called "Mini Polka Dot Background' that I won from the lovely Jennie at The Artistic Stamper. I would like to enter the following challenges which are all for a travel theme.

Bart's BBQ

Isn't he just the cutest? I won this stamp recently from Chrissy Armstrong, and this is the first chance I have been able to colour him up with my new copics. I have followed the sketch at Sketch Saturday. The background papers are from my stash.

"White"

It is so hard to capture a white image on a scanner to show the details, so I had to adjust this a little in PS
I have basically followed a sketch from Sketch Saturday and used white lace with ribbon insertion, sissex folder for the cupcake, Go Create die, 3 shell buttons, and the word 'giggle' is embossed with 'winter illusions'

Pretty in Pink (and black and white)

For this card I have used a pink base card, layered with white card embossed with a Sissex folder.The PB stamp 'constellations' was embossed with 'Winter Illusions' which gives a beautiful pink shimmer in certain lights. I then used  little dabs of pink pearl paint here and there on the flowers. Finished off with a fabric flower which has a pearl in the centre.

'Lola'

This sweet little girl is 'Lola with bird' from Sugar Nellie. I have coloured her with copics (thanks so much Audrey) and layered on to various pieces of mauve paper from my stash. The ribbon is roughly pleated and edged with glitter. Finished off with a wee dragonfly charm.

Christmas

The beautiful glitter that I used on this card (Crystal Glitter Ritz) does not show up very well in the scan, but I can assure you it is a great product. The background is stamped with Christmas words (Viva Deco - My Paper World) and the star is drawn by hand.
