MAWTT Challenge 105 - Here Comes Summer

It's Thursday and challenge time over at Moving Along With The Times

This week our theme is Here Comes The Summer

Perfect for the weather we have been having at the moment too, so grab those summery papers and stamps!

Our sponsor this week is Squidgi Digi, they are offering the lucky winner 4 Digi Images of there choice, how great is that?!

Here is my take on the challenge....

This is one of the fab new La La Land Stamps available in the UK at My Mums Craft Shop.

Isn't Marci just sooooooooooooo cute! I used Echo Park Splash Papers which worked perfectly with this stamp and for this challenge! I also used a Scallop Die-namic Die, Bakers Twine, Card Candi & Tim Holtz Adage Tickets (coming soon at MMCS!). I of course coloured her with my copics and used a Gelly Roll pen for her cheeks!

Supplies - La La Land Stamp, Echo Park Papers, Copics, Die-namics, Bakers Twine, Card Candi, Adage Tickets & Distress Ink
