The colours this week are gorgeous, inspired by Cath Kidston, a retro feel in red, blue and pink.
Here are the inspiration pics:
And here's my take:
I have turned the sketch on it's side here.
I have used a new image called Tatty Buttons - Lets's Go Fly a Kite, from a company called Creative Expressions. I saw this range of stamps at Ally Pally the other week, and I bought four!! They are wonderful images, I just had to get some, and this is the first one I have inked. She really is a sweet image to stamp and colour, although here I have paper pieced her dress using some Melissa Frances paper.
I have coloured her hair, the kite ribbons and the little mouse on the end with Promarkers.
The lovely Polka Dot papers are from two different Wild Rose Studios paper packs, called Polka Dots and Girly Polka Dots! The heart paper is from one of their other ets, but can't remember which one!
I had coloured the kite in pink and blue, but it looked wrong when layered all together, so I stamped another one and layered this up and left it plain.
I added some red and blue gems and some wonderful Opal Dust to her dress and the flowers, I can't get enough of that stuff!
Finally added some pins and leaves cut from some leftover card from my last post, which has been stamped with a Waltzingmouse Text-it stamp. The little 'Thank you' in the corner is alsom WMS, from Teeny Trees.

Fun card, Pauline! Love the bright colors and also that it seems like she is barely hanging on to the flowers there and almost flying away! Fun!
