Ribbon Carousel and Nikki Sivils Blog Hop

The Ribbon Carousel Crewmates are teaming up with the talented designers from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker  to bring you a blog hop jam packed with crafty eye candy and some prizes to sweeten the pot at the end of the rainbow.....or ummmm, hop.

At Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker, we create distinctive and original designs. Our designs are based upon two core beliefs which also serve as the foundation for our company and everything we do to support it.

We believe that scrapbooking, card making and crafting are always:

• Authentic artistic expressions
• Created with love

Our designs are driven by imagination; we strive to be different, not for the sake of being different, but to inspire you to express yourself in meaningful and fun ways. We mix elements from different sources, including styles, colors and materials. Our designs are genuinely eclectic. Our papers use vibrant colors with unique patterns and often contain irresistible characters. We are authentic in intention, action and results. We have achieved our goal if you are inspired (and tickled) when you see our paper.

I am playing along with some gorgeous DP from the Nikki Sivils Audrey Collection Kit.

I colored up this adorable Whimsie Doodles image called Cafe Lizzie with my copics.  I paired the pretty DP with some Bazzill Card Shoppe peanut cluster, candy bar, butter mints, and candy corn cardstock.  The sentment is from the PTI Warm Wishes Too stamp set.  I added some walnut brown vintage seam binding, a cream button, and some natural jute.  

Here are the copics I used:

skin - E11,E00, E000

cheeks - R20, R30

hair - E37, E35, E53, E51

boot and skirt - E59. E57, E55

Sweater - R59, R56, R37
