DARING CARD MAKERS - AD-DICTED

This Fridays dare is AD-dicted...
Hello peeps! Lythan here. We are loving all the card creations that you have been sharing with us this week. It is good to see so many people as addicted to challenges as we are! The next Dare is all about being AD-dicted.
I want you to browse the tv and magazines for advertisments and use them as inspiration. It might be the format, the colours, the products, the slogan - whatever floats your boat. Remember you can do this anytime, any place, anywhere as long as you link it to this blog in the usual way!

Well I really struggled with this one - so many great adverts out there but putting them down as a card or layout was tough. So in the end i went with a ATC. Now it has been a couple of years since i made one of these little bits of 'art' and I'm still not sure if it works with the advert I chose.
Alice In Tokyo is one of my favourite adverts!! Love the style of layout and I just love the Blue - so thats where my 'inspiration' came from.

Now my favourite colour is Blue - maybe its because I wore a lot of girly colours when I was younger (curse of the pink pedal pushers - remember them), I don't know! And now I am such a Tomboy even now, and I'm 36 (cough cough)!! Lol.

Excuse the colour of the photos - you would think i used a blue filter!

I used Blue for the tissue paper, mulberry paper, sequins, beads, micro-beads and glitter. I also used my QK's to cut out the letters and the heart. Which I covered in glitter!
