The Pink Elephant Challenge # 36



Today I have made a card...Yah finally!! It seems like forever that I actually sat down at my craft desk, without any interruptions from my beautiful children (they went back to school today!) and made something...


So anyway, today I am going to ...as the saying goes.... kill two birds with one stone and help my beautiful and very talented friend Jen...


You all know Jen she is the designer and owner of
Wild Flower Kids Stamps
and so I get to enter my first ever
Pink Elephant Challenge.....





Now the lovely and seriously talented ladies from the
Pink Elephant Challenge Blog have asked our beautiful Jen to be their guest designer for this week and the theme they have chosen is Fall.... And to make things all the more spectacular Jen has given them all the gorgeous
Digital Autumn Splendor Set to play with!!


And this is my creation....





I used the gorgeous Indian Girl from the digi set and even though we are in Spring here in Australia I hope I got the fall bit right...LOL. I used some of my favourite DP from Graphic 45 and then stamped the back panel with a leaf stamp I have had for ages and I also used my trusty Prima Pencils to colour in the Indian...





Stamps: Digital Stamp Images From Wild Flower Kids, Lucy's Stamps-Chalk Leaves
Paper: Graphic 45, Bazzill
Ink: TH Distress Ink-Vintage Photo
Accessories: Ribbon, MS Border Punch
Technique: Distressing, Prisma Pencils



Now....If you want to checkout the rest of these amazing images you can visit Jen at the Wild Flower Patch and if you want to go and buy these gorgeous images you can go and visit Tonya at Stamp Happens....




Thanks for Looking
