Live, Laugh, Love...

Good Morning...

Live, laugh, love...
not necessarily in that order but definitely all at the same time if possible!
This weeks Challenge at Creative Inspirations is 
Anything Goes + Option of a Sketch.

This week's challenge is sponsored by 
Kenny K Downloads

and the prize for the lucky winner is 
4 images of the winner's choice.

Today's card for Creative Inspirations is made with the Kenny K Digital Stamp, 
Happy Hour
I coloured this lovely party girl in with Copic markers - I really enjoyed her spotty dress, I am very partial to Polka Dots!
I decided she should be a guest at a summer garden party so I used some beautiful flowery paper from Graphic 45 along with sanded floral embossing and die cutting.
Finally I added some Sentiment Tags from Lili of the Valley along with some roses from 
The Ribbon Girl.

Here we are, a girl in a lovely frock hoping to laugh and love at a beautiful summer's eve garden party...
I would like to enter this card for the following challenge - 
As You Like It - Favourite Alcohol Markers or Distress Inks?
(alcohol markers for me, I am full of admiration for the talented ladies who colour with distress inks but I am more certain I am likely to end up with the right colour using markers)!
