Cute Card Thursday - No Patterned Paper

Ohhh!! this was a daunting challenge at first - No Patterned Paper!! - have not used plain card for ages, but with the great DT members inspiration and the chance of some great Candy on offer from Banyan Crafts I set about crafting. I had a delivery from Alota yesterday and included was the desert island and hut stamp, that was my starting point. I coloured the Sky sea and sand with chalks then used Prisma Colours, Sansodor and H2O's to colour in the other elements on the background stamp. I used the Witch Doctor, Camp fire and Sun stamps by High Hopes, these were coloured in the same way. Matted the whole image on Brown Brazzil, Cream Pearlescent and Lime green card. The Brad and ribbon are from Poppicraft and the round greeting from Aud Design. I would like to say to anyone who has not ordered from Alota and are put off by them having to come from America, the service and delivery are excellent and the price with the exchange rate at the moment is fantastic.
