Paper Smooches GD Post and a Give-away

Hi folks , thanks for dropping in :)

This is a scheduled post because I am currently wandering around  Oxford looking at University Colleges with Hannah and hubbie .... I'm sure I'll be in awe of it all , it's such a lovely city:)

So  , with great excitement , here is my first card using the new Paper Smooches stamps that were released at the beginning of the month , they are so cool .
I've actually used two of the sets to make this little Jellyfish ...... his head is from the ice cream in 'Sugar Rush' and his tentacles are fish tales from 'Surf & Turf' .
I've used Tim Holtz ink to colour the panel as the sea and used the seagull squiggle to make the waves , all the other images are coloured using promarkers .
Kim's Stamps are so versatile because they can be mixed and matched so easily , coloured and paper pieced . I would love for you to try them too ...... which leads nicely onto my little give-away this month , which is a way of me saying Thank you to all you lovely ladies that visit my blog and leave such sweet comments :)

I have three PS stamp sets to give away and today it's the turn of  Spiffy scooters.....
... all you need to do is pop by to say hello and leave a comment on this post ,  then on my last GDT post ( 27th July ) I will randomly pick a person from the comments to win this stamp set .
I have 2 more stamps sets to give away, so for the next two weeks , pop back on the Wednesdays for a chance to win other sets of the gorgeous PS stamps.

That's it .... I've probably managed to make it sound more complicated than it is but I hope you'll agree it's a fair and fun way to say Thank you ....... I can't remember how I filled my time before crafting and blogging ...... oh yes I have a poor neglected but very understanding family , lol

Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you like my card X

  11. Another great card Jenny .. .. love how you have mixed two sets together to come up with something completely different.

    Loving that scooter set. It reminds me of my brother's first scooter and us spending all of the summer holidays on year doing it up for him to re-spray and look fab .. .. and then he just sold it LOL!!!

    Hope the uni visits are going well.

    Love Jules xx
