Well we are now in Naples (or Napoli if you prefer), Italy. We had a fairly rough trip (about 28 hours, 4 hours on watch, 4 hours off) very little sleep and a few minor mishaps, but nothing major. We arrived here around 1 this afternoon and thought we had better take this opportunity to visit the ruins of Pompeii as it is unlikely we will be here again. Very interesting and such a huge city, but we were pretty tired, so we probably didn't do it justice.
*****Did you know that voting starts on Wednesday for the Round 2 of the Sweet Pea Stamps Spring stamp off challenge? You can vote here on Wednesday. I will post my entry on Chickie Chirps on Wednesday too. The challenge for Round 2 was Fancy Folds... it should be interesting to see what everyone comes up with!*****
I have a card to share today that I made for the Blues challenge at the Copic Creations blog and the brads, pearls and gems challenge at Little Miss Muffet Challenges.
I have coloured this cute digi image (from Little Miss Muffet stamps) using three different blue shade groupings and a little bit of red for contrast (details below). I also used Rose's technique for adding a bit of texture to the bunny with the copic colourless blender. The papers are from October Afternoon and the seam binding is from The Ribbon Girl. I added Stickles and Glossy accents to the balloons and wrote 'For You' on the tag. I coloured the green brads I had blue with copic B18.
These are the copics I used:

Thanks for the update... been 'thinking' of you and hoping it wasn't too bad.
Let's hope you don't do too much 'pitching about' - love to see Elba... have such romantic notions of the place, thanks to Napoleon.
Love to all.
