Blowing Bubbles

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is Helene's turn to host and she would like to see 'Summertime'

Nothing says summer like little ones playing with bubbles in the garden. We always stocked up on bubbles for the six week holidays, Scott and Jodie would try to burst them before the dogs did, Bobby preferred the bubble guns.  So my daughter managed to surprise me with the new Distress Oxide colour Speckled Egg and I love it, so it had to go on this card with a bit of Broken China. As this stamp is from the Nostalgic range I kept it quite simple and muted.  I did the background then stamped directly on to it, then coloured the image with Distress Inks.  I added some glossy accents to the bubbles.


Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.

Here is the prize on offer:-

I even did some paper piecing to give me more layers, I've had this stamp for ages and have not got round to using it yet. I also used some fine glitter on this instead of my trusty stickles. And I love the sentiment on this one too. So will be using this again, great for 18 & 21st's too.
