Ok, so this is VERY late.  I hang my head in shame, especially since it was my turn to set the challenge this week. Tsk.  My excuse?  A tiring weekend followed by a pretty trying week.  Nothing disastrous, just one of THOSE weeks.  Nothing went quite right, and I was fatigued and cranky and totally run down.  Sitting down to make a card was utterly unappealing, all I wanted to do was sit in a heap and sulk.

Thankfully, I seem to be coming out the other side of my FUNK.  Now I just need to catch up!  Hah.  So, here is my very belated Quixotic Challenge card.  “Life’s a Beach” well, I hope it will be more like one next week…

Stamping Bella - Mo Manning - Lacie - will soon be available at www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk

For my card I went with one of the new Mo Manning for Stamping Bella releases – LACIE WITH ICE CREAM.  Love that she is now available in yummy rubbah. 

Lacie and the rest of the new release are on their way to Quixotic Paperie, so you will be able to buy them here in the UK soooooon!!!  If you’re more digitally inclined, you can also find Lacie with Ice Cream over at Mo’s Digital Pencil store.

Papers are ECHO PARK – SWEET SUMMERTIME (Echo Park papers are also available at Stamping Bella).  I accented the image with a little VIVA DECOR GLITTER LINER in HOLO-IRIDESCENT.

I didn’t have any yellow ribbon to match my project.  Or any other colours that matches for that matter, must rectify that!!  So, I took some white satin ribbon and coloured it using one of my yellow Copic Markers.  Perfect!  The bow was tied using the BOW EASY.

There is still time to join in with this week’s Quixotic Challenge!  Just create a card or project with a beach or underwater theme following the rules in the sidebar on the Quixotic Challenges blog and link it up by midnight on Tuesday 10th August.
