thanks......

Hi There, I just think this image from Mo Manning is just so delightful...
I Coloured with Copic Markers, added a little  Washi Tape and Sentiment... a card for my collection for just when you need to say Thanks!
I don't often find a challenge to fit the card I've made but I think The Card Concept Challenge with theme "create a card in one of the styles of the Designers" may just work!.... So I going with Clean and Layerering - Kerin Sylvester.
Fusion Card Challenge- inspiration from the Photo.
AAA Cards - CAS Halloween- using pumpkins should pull me over the line.

STAMPlorations- Sketch #21

Hi there.... time for another fabulous sketch at STAMPlorations Challenge Blog...
(ends October 17; winner announced October 19)
I used the.... Holiday Sketches: Christmas Flower, such a great stamp..
I stamped the image in Archival Ink- Red Geranium and then used Distress Inks to colour the images in. I forgot to write down the colours so I'm sort of guessing... Barn Door, Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint, Old Paper and Black Soot. I also used a Gold Brilliance Ink Pad  on the background as a wash effect and then stamped a music stamp with the same ink.
A few scattered ink spots and a few sequins completed the card.
Playing along with us is the wonderful  Elaine from Craft-E-Place.
