NJB Cybele & Kaida DT Card - Challenge #34

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all ok and ready for Santa...that is, of course, if you've been nice and not norty!  :o)

We're all ready and so excited about our first Christmas on the island.  We were hoping to be able to go fossil hunting in the morning but the tide's wrong and we'd get wet so will find somewhere we've not been before for a nice walk...if it's not chucking down.

We had a fabulous fossil walk last Sunday.  There was only me, Jamie and another lady with Steve to lead us and we learned so much about the geology of Yaverland.  We didn't find a great deal but did come back with a whopper of a fossilised, ancient oyster AND I found the most beautiful ammonite imprint.  It was only small but absolutely perfect.  Unfortunately, it was in soft clay and it would have destroyed it to have brought it home so we left it there.  It's survived at least 65 million years and I didn't want to be the one to destroy it.  Steve passed the Jamie test so we're booked to go again on the 29th.  Can't wait.

Anyway...it's time for Challenge #34 over at Scribble and Scrap where, as always, it's Anything Goes!

There are two chances to win a £10 voucher (Random Drawn and Selected) so well worth joining in the fun.  All the information is on the blog.

And here's my card.

Not quite sure what I think of this one.  My mojo has deserted me and this was the best I could come up with so it'll have to do.  It's ok...just not 'me.'

I have used the following products available at Scribble and Scrap

Sweet Pea Stamps - Norma J Burnell - Fairy Tangles Cybele and Kaida Rubber Stamps
Flowers and Brads - Purples
First Edition - Love Letters - 8x8 Paper Pad

The matting card, gems, feathers and leaves are from my stash.

I used Spellbinders to cut the layers and easel base.  I have created a tutorial (using a different die but same method) here.

I have used the following Promarkers to colour the image:

Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush, Baby Pink, Antique Pink, Marine, Turquoise, Cool Aqua, Ice Grey 1, Caramel, Sandstone, Satin, Forest Green, Bright green, Lime Green, Pink Lobster, Tropical Orchid, Peony, Pineapple Crush, Daffodil Bloom and Eggnog.
