We have had a mad busy few days with different visitors on different nights, needing taking and collecting from different railway stations, culminating in me managing to lock myself out of the house when the plumber needed to sort out the leak from the work he did last week and the electrics for the whole house fusing multiple times thanks to a cold weather problem to the garage supply... ! Today I escaped into my craft room for a very welcome hour playing:).
I saw the theme for this week's
Papertake Challenge, Autumn Skies and it inspired me to play with my new duster brushes and Distress Inks. I am so pleased with these brushes, love the effect I'm getting. This is the first card I made inspired by the theme. I used Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade and the stamps are from
Inkylicious, the people I bought the duster brushes from. The sketch is from
Stamptacular Sunday, the DP is Memory Box and I've Cuttlebugged a piece of bronze card with leaves. This is a sympathy card for a friend whose Dad died at the weekend.
I'm also entering the followng challenges:
Crafty Hos - fall colours
Charisma Cardz - sympathy/sorry
A Spoonful of Sugar - distressing
PS Don't forget to enter my
candy:)
