I had this Delicious Doodles digi, available here, printed already and I decided to colour it last night. I coloured it with my Promarkers before cutting it with my Spellbinders oval nestie and matting on to a pink scalloped nestie. This morning I eventually made the card! The card blank is from Craft UK. The pink card is all available from Papermill, I used two different shades of pink. The pink patterned paper was in my 'pink' drawer and I have no idea where I got it from, sorry. I used my Martha Stewart punch on each long edge before adding to the lower part of the card. The dark pink paper is from Costco. I added a silver metallic decorative square to the top corner and two swirls were added - the top one is a Spellbinder die and the other is a Marianne die.
We were also invited by Just Keep on Creating to tell a travel story for a separate challenge entry. My husband and I went on a trip of a lifetime in 2010 to visit relatives in Darwin, Australia from our home in the UK. We did so many exciting things whilst we were there and one of them was going on the Adelaide River Queen boat to see the jumping crocodiles. I took wonderful close up photographs of these huge creatures jumping right out of the water. The guide then told us she was going to dangle some meat from the top deck of the boat and we would see the white bellied sea eagles come swooping down for it. I positioned my camera, waited for the call, clicked....... and caught an image of the empty string dangling! Fortunately my husband's cousin got a perfect shot of the eagle and that's the one that's in our scrapbook. We flew down to visit more relatives in Perth, Manjimup and Augusta and have more photos of where the two oceans meet, the Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean, spectacular. So many happy memories.
I'm entering my card in to the following challenges:
