Addicted to Stamps - Make Your Mark Challenge #1

Good Wednesday morning ~

I hope you've come back to check out the very first Addicted to Stamps challenge.  It's a very exciting day and Kylie has put a lot of effort into getting things up and running on time.  There will be a new challenge every Wednesday - for further information and details head on over to the Addicted to Stamps challenge blog for a browse.

This week is Make Your Mark - anything goes so long as you use your markers, or your preferred colouring medium on your creation.


I've coloured up a cute little Puddle Jumper image from LORi Boyd with my copics.  Look closely, there's even a little sponging!  I'm usually a bit heavy handed and end up binning what I sponge so I was just a tad excited to have this one work for me.

I've used a base of Whisper White c/s, popped a mat of Crumb Cake up on dimensionals and added some Bashful Blue and Island Indigo designer series paper, before wrapping some of the gorgeous matching ruffled ribbon around.  'Ella' has been cut with an oval nestie and popped up on dimensionals.  I finished my card off with a button and some bling.

I'm thinking this might be a good get well or feel better card (being that Ella is in her dressing gown) so I'll add the sentiment to the inside when an occasion arises.

I would so love you to support our very first Addicted to Stamps challenge this week.  Head on over to check out the design team inspiration then grab your markers, pencils, aqua pen...and have some colouring fun.  Don't forget to link up before next Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by today.
