Lavinia has something to hide!

The challenge this week at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge blog is to "Stash the Booty"!  The theme compliments their soon-to-be released new pirate stamps by artist Anne Rodrigue.  I have used Lavinia from the Steam Punk release by the same artist last month.  My will power escapes me whenever KKS releases anything by Anne Rodrigue as will be evidence by my disappearing bank balance when the new releases become available at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

And here's her secret, which will still remain a mystery as I am undecided as to what I want her to share - or who the recipient of this lovely lady will be!

I was inspired by this beautiful paper from webster's pages Postcards from Paris line.  After a fantastic class at the local scrapbook store, I really look at their paper differently.  I cut out several of the hot air balloons from all over the 12 x 12 paper and adhered them, some with foam squares and some not, on the front and the inside of the card. 

The inside of the card begged to use the remainder of the beautiful paper so I willingly obliged.

I apologize for the lack of sentiment, but I'm not sure where she's headed yet.  I coloured Lavinia with copic markers on Prism paper, once again using the feather blending technique.  I am not satisfied with the results on the Prism paper.  Generally I love the Prism with the limited amount of ink required to achieve a nice blend, but it appears to oversaturate with any technique which requires back and forth blending.  Lavinia will also be entered into the challenge at Copic Creations. 

Join me tomorrow for another Paper Sundaes Challenge!  Boy, does the design team have some glittery creations to share tomorrow - and another fabulous sponsor too!

Thank you for looking!
