This week I've used another gorgeous Elisabeth Bell image, but from her Whimsy Stamps range. I wanted to make something sunny and sweet, as it's cold and rainy here in New Zealand this week, so I was chasing the sunshine through my crafting. You should have arrived here to my blog from Rebecca Billard. Such a fabulous creation this week. So talented isn't she? Your next stop in the Hop after mine is Nick. You're gonna love what she has in store for you! So fab! Have fun hop hop hoppity hopping! :)

The paper I've used is from a My Mind's Eye paper pad called Hootenanny from their Six by Six range. The candy coloured stripes were a great fit for my little sunshiney make today. Laura has some gorgeous My Mind's Eye paper pads in the store right now too. I had my first play with Wink of Stella pens for this make. I used it on the balloons, her ring and the spine of the butterflies on her dress. Just a lovely touch of sparkle. Love them! The image is coloured with my Promarker Alcohol Markers.

As You Like It: Favourite Period & Why (I have two thoughts on this challenge. My favourite period of the year is Christmas, hands down. I LOVE Christmas and all the festive joy it brings. But I was thinking about an 'era' and I've used a lot of Elisabeth Bell images in my creations lately, I'm going through a bit of a phase, but the reason I love these, is because they remind me of a gentler, sweeter bygone era. So I think this card fits in well with this challenge as a celebration of that bygone era.)

Update: So honoured to have been named in the Top 3 for the I <3 Promarkers Challenge AND won their randomly generated prize. So excited, yippee!

Second Update: I was placed in the Top 3 at Penny's PaperCrafty Challenge. Thanks Mandy! xxx
