OK I couldn't resist any longer I just had to use this stamp and a couple of challenges gave me the push that I needed :) 
So first I HAD to play with some of my new colours from Lindy's Stamp Gang (couldn't wait any longer!!!!), I wanted to combine this with the Copic Oz Challenge,  where I needed to use BV00, G82 and RV21 - I've just learned how to do some copic shadowing with the BV's so this is the perfect opportunity to try it out. I've used the fabulous layout from Creatalicious Challenges as the design inspiration, and if I'm really inventive I can also squeeze this in for the In a Sweet Pea Dream Challenge of using lace on your creation.

 What I did:

1. Spray Fuzzy Navel Peach onto piece of A4/Letter sized white card, cover completely with spray and leave to dry.
2. Spray My Mojito Green Starburst spray onto piece of A4/Letter sized white card, cover completely with spray, then spritz a little Creme Brulee Cream in patches over the top of the green and then leave to dry.
3. Using Spellbinders Classic Frame die, cut frame from Fuzzy Navel Peach card.  Use leftover F.N.P. card to cut a base sheet for finished card.
4. Using foam applicator, apply Distress inks to embossed areas of cut out frame to darken.

I'd love to hear what you think about this one (this was my first try using the BV as a shadow), constructive criticism please - we are all sensitive when it comes to our art :O)  Do you think the BV as a shadow works (look at the full card, not the close up to get the effect), or is it too harsh a colour difference for you?
