Stroll Gilli on Red and Gold Challenge

Hello Friends,
Today I have Stroll Gilli for the Red and Gold Challenge at House of Gilli Challenge Blog!
What a fun to play with those colors…  So here is the card I made:

I colored my Gilli using copic markers: R46, R29, R27, R24, R20, YR24, YR23, YR21, C9, C7, C5, C3, E11, E00. Dont forget, you need to use memento ink pak with your copic markers so it wont bleed and ruin your image!
The gold paper I used is from a gift bag from a present that I received yesterday, I add it on a white cardstock so it would be thicker and then used my Martha Stewart heart punch on the border.
Cardstock, ribbon, rhinestones are from my stash. Sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! and Flowers are from Prima. On the gold flowers I added a bit of gold stickles from Tim Holtz.
I used red ink pad with my Tim Holtz felt applicator all around the Gilli.
I hope you like my card and come on over to play with us in a chance to win a bag of Goodies from Anary!!

Ok, I picked 2 photos from last trip to USA last year and made a page that I want to frame and hang on my scraproom wall in my new house that I`ll be moving in early next year..

Ok, the only pitty is that there is a very darling friend missing from the picture we have taken with the Previous Design Team  during the May retreat in Michigan..  it is C2..  I took a pic with her during the retreat but the pic is not good so I`m not posting in here!!  I`ll have to wait for 2013 when I`ll meet her again and then we can take quite a few pics together!!!

So here is the page I made:

Top picture: from left to right: Kev, Hubby, Cindy and Me
Bottom picture: from left to right: Froggy, Wini, Cindy, Me, Janine and Meg

And here are a close up on the parts of the page:

I used here recollection brads, Martha Stewart punch, prima flowers and few goodies from my stash.

I`m entering my page in the following challenges:

• 2 Sisters: punch or dies
• Divas by Design: anything goes
• Simon Says: anything goes

Thanks for stopping by today!
