MMCS Challenge 16 - Fab & Funky

We have a new challenge over at My Mums Craft Shop Challenges!

This week we have a brilliant fun theme of...
Fab & Funky
We can't wait to see how you all incorporate this one, although it should be fairly easy!!
This week our sponsor is once again is the fabulous Whimsy Stamps
They are giving the lucky winner 5 Digi's of there choice, how cool is that?!
Here is my bright funky take on the challenge...This is one of the latest Some Odd Girl Stamps, isn't she so cute!!
These are fast becoming one of my fav stamp companies at the moment, they are just so fun to colour! I coloured her with my copics & used some very bright funky papers, these are Echo Park Summertime. I used my Nesties for the oval and MS Stewart Punch for the grass! The sentiment is a stamp that comes with the main charactor stamp...how cool is that!
I added a bit of ribbon & some lil lilac roses to finish...quite simple really!

Supplies - Some Odd Girl Stamp, Echo Park Papers, Nestabilities, MS Stewart Punch, Perfect Pearls, Copics, Ribbon, Roses & Bazzill.
