Stampin' for the Weekend - Week 10


For this weeks challenge, Vicki has given us this lovely sketch to work with, and I have to say I really enjoyed it!

Thanks Sweetie!


We have a lovely sponsor this week too..
Sir Stampalot who is offering one lucky crafter a
'My Favorite Things - Isabelle Paper Doll Clear Stamp Set!'
So for my card I decided to ink up this Gorgeous Sugar Nellie - Manga Girl which I bought fromFunky Kits when they were first released (Have since bought the other three hehe).

I think she is brilliant, and I've seen her around on some blogs and she is so versatile too.

I bought some fabric from the local quilting shop a while ago and decided to use some as inspiration for her tights and arms. So I started to colour her with those exact colours. However, I had no papers to match. So I cut up the fabric and wrapped it round some card and hey presto, bobs your uncle I had some groovy backing :o)

I layered up some retro flowers and stamped out a sentiment, popped em all together and I think it looks very funky!!
Another little view of the card.
