First Challenge Entry of the New Year

Hope you all have had a lovely start to the New Year, I have because I have managed to kick start my crafting new years resolution of "enter more blog challenges". I got lots of crafty christmas gifts so thought I would set about playing with them and entering into the  following challenges:-
fashionable stamping challenges where the theme is Anything goes with your new stash
Simon Says Stamp where the theme is something old something new
The Artistic Stamper where the theme is VINTAGE


The new are the stamps that I have used I love Paris - Stampendous cling and main image is from Kanban which I have coloured with prisma coloured pencils.
The old is Graphic 45 Curtain Call 8x8 pad that I love and have had for ages.
The Vintage is the era and the look (plenty of vintage photo distress ink)
The swirls are cut with a Marianne die and flowers, ribbons and feathers are from my stash.

thanks for looking
Amanda
