Stickers

Hi everyone!   I hope your week is going well so far?  It's very quiet around our house as our darling granddaughters have gone home.  We had a wonderful time with them and I miss them already.
Tomorrow I'm off to visit an out of town craft store with a friend, list in hand.

Today starts a new challenge at Fab'n'Funky.  

Our lovely Ciska has chosen a fun theme "You can stick it".
Our fabulous sponsor this week is

Bugaboo Stamps

Here is my card share for this challenge.  I really liked this beautiful image and wanted to try something different with it. Unfortunately this is one of those cards that look soooo much better IRL.  Not sure if it's the dimensions or just my lighting.
If you can, please check out the lovely creations made by my teammates - you are sure to be inspired.





I dug thru my stash and was able to find these fabulous BasicGrey chip stickers .
 The pattern is Ambrosia...another one I've been hoarding!
   I  printed a digi from Bugaboo called Silhouette, Elephant Paisley, cut it into a circle then coloured it with Copics.  I then added Utee, heat embossed it to give it a shiny appearance.
 Once it was dry I mounted it onto the large BG chip sticker that had been distressed on the edges with TH distress ink in black soot.
The plain black circle was cut using SB Grand Nest. Circles and the orange scallop circle is made using SB Grand Decorative Circles One die.
  Black gems are from my stash, as well as the black satin ribbon.  
 I used another sticker from the same collection on the top right corner. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
IDIC Challenge #173 - Put a frame around it

Thanks for stopping by.

This is gorgeous Pat!! I saw this on MIM and had to take a closer look. Wow!! I love the colors, the image, your coloring, the embellishments, the DP, the bow! Incredible!! Very creative! I am not sure I understand what the beautiful swirl piece is behind the elephant. Did you stamp that?
