Crafty Calendar Challenge - Summertime Fun

I'm sorry I'm so late in posting my card for this months challenge over at Crafty Calendar.  This month our theme is Summertime Fun and we have been sponsored by Squiggle Fly and they gave the design team some images to craft with.  I chose this great image of a Campervan and here is my card:

I printed the image onto Neenah card and coloured using Spectrum Noir pencils.  This is the first time I've used them and they are lovely to work with.  I blended using baby oil and am quite pleased with the result.

The lovely papers I've used (which decided the colours I would used for colouring in the image) are Nitwits Collection and came free recently with a magazine.

I used bold cardstock from Create and Craft.  A Martha Stewart punch was used to create the scalloped border.  The ribbon was also from Create and Craft and tied on my Bowdabra.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Challenge - Summertime

Crafting For All Seasons - Tic Tac Toe - I chose Ribbon, Square, Pink

Bearly Mine Challenges - Lets Go Digital
