Spoon Full of Sugar #65



This challenge for Spoon Full Of Sugar really had me stumped for a while. I didn't seem to have any stamps that were suitable. I hope you think the idea I came up with works.
I stamped the bicycle, Tin Can Mail by Inkadinkado, on to card and on to a "post it". I cut the bicycle out of the "post it" ( a lot of cutting - so many gaps) and used it to mask the bicycle stamped on the card. I then stamped the girl, Country Garden by Sugar Nellie on top. I then lifted the "post it" so it looks as though she is standing behind the bike. I also masked the foliage round the girls feet and the basket she is holding when I inked the stamp because I didn't want them in the final picture. I coloured it using my Copic Ciaos.
The papers, embellishments and ribbon are from my stash.
Please feel free to leave any comments you want to make.

  2. Hi Fiona
    This is fantastic - a work of art. I spotted this stamp earlier today on Funky Kits website, but didn't buy it, so I'm going to have to go back now and get it! I, too, am a shopaholic!!!
