Favourite colours & give away...

Hello fellow Crafters,

The lovely and talented Nellie is our host today over at the Stampotique Challenge blog and she wants us to use our favourite colours. This is what she said :

"No explanation needed for this week's challenge. I'm asking you to use your favourite colours. Use as many colours as you want to. I think we all have favourite colour combinations, , colours that always match, colours that work for us, colours we turn to when we lack a bit of inspiration. Mine are variations of green and blue. What are yours? Nellie"

I have several combinations that I really love but yellow/orange/pink must be my all time fave !!!
I made a postcard for her :


I coloured this card with Distress Inks and a blending tool. The colours I used were Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmelade, Ripe Persimmon and Picked Raspberry. I used one of the circles from the "Circles cube" with gray Archival ink and "Ticket for Paris" with white ink to jazz up the background a bit. I used the gray Archival to distress the edges as well. I also splattered some water on it and after it was dry some India Ink. Next I stamped the "Barcode" at the bottom om the card and a bit of it on the right and at the top. The sentiment came form the "Barcode Text #2". I put the card aside and stamped "Romek" on white card stock, colours him and his balloons with Copic Markers, clear embossed him and placed him on double sided tape. I thought it might be easier to cut out and adhere to the card if I turned him into a sticker basically. And it was. I did stamp him on the card as well as I didn't want to attempt to cut the strings of the balloons out. Anyway that was that ! 

Here's a list of all the stamps I used:


Now, if you like to receive this postcard then leave me a comment below and I will draw a random winner on the 4th of November. Good luck ! 


Thanks for stopping by ! 

Hope you like it.....
