Market Street Stamps April Paint the Town Color Challenge


I recently got some more Market Street stamps...and was very excited to play with them! So this month's Paint the Town color challenge seemed a perfect opportunity! Here is what I came up with:
And here is the color combo:


I love all these pretty colors! I think I might have gone a bit bright on the green and yellow...but it just kind of happened! I used a bunch of random paper scraps from my stash - have NO idea who they are from! 
The little camper is paper pieced...and I meant to color the tire in with my Copics, but just noticed I forgot! Oops! I stamped the sentiment from the set 3 times...just cause it looked like it needed it! 
I used some Tim Holtz distress ink in Antique Linen on the edges of the white paper, and stamped the little hearts and dots from the set in the upper left hand corner. Also added some tiny dots with a black pen. 
Did some faux stitching around the outside edges with my Sakura Glaze pen...so it is a little shiny and dimensional. Tied a piece of yellow twill ribbon from Ribbon Carousel in a bow, and pop-dotted the image after matting it with black paper.
I am also linking this up to the Ribbon Carousel Challenge - Get Colorful!
