Caravan Holiday

We had a caravan a bit like this in our garden when I was very young!

We just played in it as a playhouse.

I just love this stamp from Lili of the Valley and is perfectly

 complemented, by the fabulous ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

The pictures really don't show the 'real life' detail.

The stripes on the pink and white caravan even look 3D. 

The ribbon is called Caravan Ribbon and is in the 

Grosgrain Summer Festival section. 

I stamped the image onto Langton Watercolour Very Smooth 300gsm card and

coloured with Distress Inks.

You can see the amazing detail on the ribbon a bit better on the picture below.

The background paper is actually a map of France I used for a trip,

when I was in my early 20's. I drove my rather 'special MG', 

to Rome and back with a friend.

It was 'Special', because the guy I bought it from, had rebuilt the engine

to race it. The engine was so big and powerful, that he had to have

a special bonnet made to get it over the engine. 

It was a similar design as an E-Type Jag. 

It was white with a big black band down it and sunken headlights. 

A great fun car!! I loved driving it around London where I lived.

If you pop over to Crafty Ribbons shop, you will find some fantastic ribbons.

There are even ribbons with Camper Vans, Diggers and even 

 London Buses and soldiers

I love wandering through all the sections, looking at ribbons 

I have never seen before. Lovely to stroke and keep!!

Amazing buttons too. Fantastic designs.

I hope my card has inspired you to visit Crafty Ribbons shop.

Thanks for stopping by 

and leaving me your lovely messages.

You know I love to read them.

Big hugs,

Carol xxxx
