Barbles Challenge #2 and Little Red Wagon #115...

I had an idea in mind for this photo from Barbles Challenge #2:

and when I read that little red wagon's challenge this go-round was 'itty bitty yellow polka dot bikini'  the whole card idea came together.

Supplies: yellow MFP cardstock from JJ;
two dot folders from Cuttlebug;
shimmer quilling paper;
envelope: Wordsworth stamp & Mustard Seed distress ink

I find the shimmer quilling paper hard to work with - my usual glue doesn't seem to hold the coils as well, but I knew I wanted to use it because of the shimmer in Barb's picture. Each coil was rolled, shaped, and glued, and then I used coins to hold each coil while it dried. Luckily the edges of the paper aren't coated with the same shimmer material, so gluing the finished coils was not a problem. There were definitely some interesting words used during the initial phases of this project, though.

Go join in Barb's second Barbles challenge!
You have until January 31st to link up

So that's 3 of Barb's fabulous photos I've used as inspiration so far...two of them I've actually made more than one card. Still have to upload/edit those...and get my ideas for the other two down on paper. I am soooo loving this challenge :)
