teenage kicks...

Good Morning lovely friends

Today's card is a reminder to you all that there is still plenty of time to enter the April Colour Challenge at Lili of the Valley.

 Basically, you can make a card using any of the following colours
Aqua, Pink, Red, Ivory, Lilac.

The first letters of each of these spell APRIL!
Clever and simples!

Just follow this link

You have until 6pm UK time on Friday 15th March to join in the fun and there are some fantabulous LOTV goodies for the winners.

For my card I have used the fab new LOTV stamp 
Oliver Kicking About

I have coloured him with Copics and set him on a background made with papers from Bo Bunny's Liberty Collection.  The top layer has been Die cut with a Sizzix Mixed Media Die.

Finally I have added a new LOTV sentiment from the Block Sentiments Set 102 along with some enamel dots.

and here we are...teenage kicks - loved that song along with millions of other John Peel fans - (showing my age now)!
