Last day of ....

.... freedom, we're back to school tomorrow, sigh.  It's been a lovely long relaxing three weeks off - now the house is clean, the laundry is done and tomorrow it'll all be a distant memory!!!

I went to a crop yesterday, had a lovely day chatting and laughing (and eating!), and making one card!!  Here's what I made:


I used the sketch from this week's Friday Sketchers.  I'm also entering this into the following challenges: Mo's Digital Challenge ("Going Retro"), Creative Cottage ("Something New") and Stamp Something ("Use a Digi").

I used papers from October Afternoon and Cosmo Cricket.  I used a gorgeous digi image from Mo Manning and coloured with distress inks yet again. Here's a close-up:



Recipe:
Papers: October Afternoon "Thrift Shop" and Cosmo Cricket "Circa 1934"
Image: Mo Manning "Angelina with Balloons"
Colouring Medium: Distress Inks
Other: MS Punch, ribbon and buttons from stash, needle + thread
 
Thanks for looking!

d'ya know - I'm actually jealous of your ability to keep it non-cluttered! And your colouring is just perfect!!
Guess who just remembered that I have a sealed and addressed envelope in my craft room with your card in my craft room since bleedin' Christmas. I'm a TOTAL pea-brain!
