Life is good, you should get one!

 Hi everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post, I made a banner card. I used a die to cut this out. I used a whole array of stamps and other stuff. You'll find a short description of how I made this under the first photo. 

Here's how:

I cut out the largest of the banners as I needed to room for what I wanted to put on it. I cut it out of a piece of gelli plate mop up paper. 

The paper had an imprint of this stencil on it. I thought it looked nice. Also I needed it to be fairly light as I had to colour on this.....

...because these palm trees are so intricate that I didn't want to attempt to cut them out. I could have left a little white border all around but I don't really like that. So I coloured them straight on the print. 

I also stamped the VW camper van which I planned to colour with watercolour paints. I ended up using those but also coloured pencils... 

Some background stamping ..

The trees all coloured. I used Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens. They are waterproof after drying. I then added some coloured pencil here and there. 

I decided to add some rub-ons too. I love these rub-ons.. they are fab! 

Here it is all put together. I stamped a bird on the roof, just for a bit of fun! I added one of the text strips from the Laugh Lines set.
