IndigoBlu Challenge October

As many of you know I am very lucky to be a demonstrator for the wonderful quintessentially English stamp company IndigoBlu. Each month they have a different theme on their challenge blog and this month the theme was following a sketch drawn by the super talented Clare Horner. The challenge was thrown open to the demonstration team and this is what I came up with.

I just love the Rockin Robin stamp so knew my challenge card had to include him. First I stamped the image on to rich chocolate brown Centura Pearl card stock with Flitterglu. Then I stamped the background up using the Script stamp using the Flitterglu. 

Whilst waiting for the Flitterglu to 'cure' I stamped Rockin Robin on to some cream cardstock to match the card base and then went and had a cuppa. When I came back the Flitterglu was the perfect tackiness so I got busy with the Chariot of Fire Mega Flakes. I adhered the flakes and scoochied them. Then it was time to add the ribbon and start matting and layering. I have a bit of a 'thing' for ribbon so have a huuuuuge collection. After having a little rummage I found his gorgeous hessian ribbon which is printed with poinsettias and added the beautiful poinsettia flower to finish.
