Your carriage awaits

Hi blog hoppers, hope everybody is well, i am pleased to announce that i am now only dealing with one sick body, my poor little 3 year old Eden, who still seems to be barking like a dog.  The weather is miserable, for those of you that dont know much about the African continent, we have some very cold weather fronts especially in Johannesburg where we are awaiting our winter, which is very cold and at the moment it has been raining since Friday.  Perfect weather to craft!

Enough small talk!  I am in love with my new stamps, cant get enough of them.  I made this carriage for our little Maid Marian that was colored in copics, the carriage is made with all my die cuts and punches.  The circle body of the carriage was made using a nestie, the door i used my colluzle, wheels from nesties, dont know what you call the bits where the driver of the carriage would normally sit but i cut those with my swirly ek success punch and the curtains are MS border punches.  Added loads of flat backed gem and pearls, and inked all the edges and then added some gold leaf to the outer bits of the carriage and wheels and used my fleur de lis for the bit at the top of the carriage.  Dp is one of those random ones we all have in our stash, it gave me the feel of spring with all those flowers so it worked for me.  Of course there is also lots of the glittah treatment.
 I had every intension of listing my copics, but i have forgotten, what i used for what, here is a piccie of what i used, will try to remember for next time
thanks so much for stopping by, have a great week.
I'm entering this into two challenges:  scrappy frogs and One stop craft challenge
