You Go Girl!

Good afternoon, hope you're enjoying some beautiful weather wherever you are. I'm hopping in today with a fun little card, although I shouldn't say 'little' as it's far from it. In fact it's rather loooooong!

A couple of challenges caught my eye this week:

The first being a sketch posted by Dee over at Little Red Wagon....you know I love a sketch!

Secondly, this weeks Card Challenge on the Two Scrapbook Friends forum, is to create a 'Looooong' card, so that's what I did.

Here's one funky little Moped (not sure if that's a universal name for them or just another 'English'ism (now there's a new word!!)).........


I was trying to think of a sentiment to go with this image, and when I was routing through my stash for something else, I came across this stamp I've had for ages......couldn't have come up with anything better!

The image is one of those really reasonable mini stamps from Imaginisce I believe, coloured with Copic markers. Paper is mostly regular yellow cardstock, embossed with a Quik Cutz folder, and a scrap of leftover PP from We R Memory Makers 'Peep' line. A Nestie, Baker's twine, and button finish the job.

Here's a little close up, just in case you feel the urge to see more (lol)........

Those colours are enough to cheer anyone up, so enjoy the rest of your day......I'm hoping to!

See you soon

Au naturale?

OK, I know my French is despicable, so I apologize for the title........no idea if it's spelt remotely as it should be! So why attempt it, I hear you ask.........well, there is a reason as to why this phrase was running through my muddled brain, whilst I was creating this card. I'm hoping all will become clear when you see............miss Ivy Ketto! Here she is..........

It's Bellarific Friday today over at Bloggabella, which means I finally got to ink up one of my new stamps I won recently, from Stamping Bella. The challenge this week was a sketch by the lovely Lindabella (great!), and I knew that once I'd stamped this little lady, I wanted her and the card to be very......organic. So, out came the browns, greens, yellows.....Prisma's of course, and you know the drill - a touch of Copics for skin. The DP's are from Basic Grey's Origins line (perfect!), together with some Kraft paper. I also used some flowers I've had forevah, which have, I think a rafia type of stuff on there, and a wooden beaded flower I stuck on top of an inked die cut. I used natural hemp instead of ribbon and the sentiment came as a 'no brainer' so this turned into a 'Congrat's' type of card.

I was also inspired by another perfect little challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room - challenge #27 calls for Fresh Living and has a photo of 'greenery' for inspiration.
