Summer Fun Birthday Card

Good afternoon everyone, how are you all today? The weather seems to have cheered up again so I hope you are all out enjoying it. As for me I am stuck indoors, doped up on pain medication and trying to ignore the agony that is going on in my back again.

I have a card to share with you today that I made at the weekend using another of my new Elisabeth Bell stamps, this one is called 'Big Splash'. I did something with this that I never do and that is I coloured the image before choosing any papers or embellishments. I love how it came out using these primary colours.
 Supplies:-
6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's
Card Stock - Bazzill
Designer Papers - Papermania 'Happy Days'
Brads - Stash
Twine - Let's Create

Promarkers & Flexmarkers Used:-
Skin - Coral, Sunkissed Pink & Blush
Hair - Buttercup, Eggnog & Daffodil Bloom
Shorts - Chilli Red, Poppy & Lipstick Red
Hose - Chartruese, Leaf Green & Green Shoot
Water - Arctic Blue & Glacier Blue
Grass - Grass
Flower - Sunset & Buttercup

Challenges I would like to enter this into:-

Drunken Stampers - Use Twine
My Creative Moments - Childhood
Crafts 4 Eternity - Summer Fun

 That's all from me for today, thanks for stopping by.

 I KNOW MY BLOG LOOKS A LITTLE OUT OF LINE ETC, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GIVE IT A MAKEOVER BUT AM UNABLE TO SIT FOR TOO LONG DOING IT. HENCE IT IS TAKING TIME TO SORT IT OUT.
