Get Funky - Take 5

Long time, no blogging! It's been over a month since I last updated my blog as the PC was out of action due to a virus - probably my fault for going on a dodgy site - but my Tech Support Expert (No 1 son) finally managed to get it sorted out, then family life just got in the way so I've not been entering Challenges and only made cards when absolutely necessary. I do admire the folks who juggle job, family and friends and still manage to create and blog on a daily basis - but I'm going to try harder from now on.
The push I needed to get creating was realizing that I only had a few days to make my entry for the Get Funky Challenge, which I like to enter, but the theme of 'Take Five' requires at least five different papers and my limit is usually three so to use five was well out of my comfort zone.





I have risen to the challenge and managed to use not five but .... eight, they are all from the Glad Rags collection on 'Colour Me Happy'. I chose this collection then printed eight of the papers to make my selection from and used 'Martha and Presents' from the Digi Stamp Boutique for the focal point. Rather than colour the image I decided to paper piece it in order to use the different papers and only the face and hands are coloured with Promarkers. I've also added bunting which enabled me to do more paper piecing so all eight papers did get used. A few gems and a length of ribbon were the finishing touches.
