Well..... so far I am doing what I was hoping to this weekend. I have one card done with hopes of doing a few more. This card was created for the Delightful Sketches challenge which was "fall colours" and Whimsy Stamps challenge was the layout.
This is one of my favourite stamps by Stampington & Company, "Scripted Leaf". I applied versamark to the image and sprinkled various "fall" colour embossing powders and heat set. The base of the card is muted yellow layered with burnt orange and DP. The image was layered on green and mustard with ribbon tied around one end then finished with 3 burnt red buttons.
The sun is shining so bright with definite warmth in it so I think I am going to spend a bit of time in my gazebo colouring some images.
